| Title | Letter from Charles Beauclerk, 2nd Duke of St. Albans, Windsor, to [Martin Folkes] |
| Creator | Beauclerk; Charles (1696 - 1751); 2nd Duke of St. Albans |
| Recipient | Folkes; Martin (1690 - 1754); antiquary and natural philosopher |
| Date | 14 August 1743 |
| Description | He is ashamed for giving Folkes so much trouble and should have thanked him sooner. He waited until Mr. Murray, the surgeon had examined them [hydra] as he had seen them before by means of [John Theophilius] Desaguliers when he was at Ditton, and he tells St. Albans that they are the same but have no horns as those he saw at Ditton. He is now pressed for time as Lady Deloraine was there in great concern for her son. |
