Thomas Beddoes to T. G. Estcourt, 6 November 1808
You told me an <anecdote> anecdote of of Ld Castlereah & Dalrimple rumour seems to have given it all possible confirmation – now I can tell you one much more trivial but quite certain for I have the proof in my hand – The right hon the secretary of war at this juncture is lying at Delvine House cupar angus implicitly believe, but do not say that you had this from me – I beg my compts to Mrs Estcourt, in which Mrs B desires to join.
I remain
yrs ever
