Excerpt from Letters of Harriet, Countess Granville, 1810-1845, Vol. 2: Edited by Her Son the Hon. F. Leveson Gower
Dearest sister, - I know not what to think of politics. Parliament so near meeting. Events of such importance pending. How I wish there was another head to the body; something new, respected at the head Lord Carlisle, or, if he would not, the Duke of Portland; and young Stanley, if used enough to business, Chancellor of the Exchequer. In the Government I want something to look to, to be admired for the present, and promising for the future. Whilst Goody remains, one can see nothing but ridicule justified, and failure apprehended.
I do not fear the Ultras, because you have all such an opinion of the King's stoutness. I fear nobody but Goody, and do not understand his imbecility.
Your letters are most amusing. I see Windsor. What for Lady Conyngham out of spirits? I am curious to know. I am quite convinced that sense and spirit will carry us through this new I don't know what.
God bless you, my dearest sister.
