TitleLetter from Charles Lennox, 2nd Duke of Richmond and Duke of Aubigny, Whitehall, to Martin Folkes, Queen's Square, Bloomsbury
Date29 April 1743
DescriptionRichmond's two English and one Dutch pollipus [hydra] are in good health and have eaten the worms - he asks for more, 'for they have damn'd good stomachs'. If he can spare three hydra it would make Lady Young very happy. He embarks on Monday, but would be glad to see Folkes first, although he is engaged in business morning until night.
