Charlotte, Queen Consort of King George III Autograph letter signed ("Charlotte")

The letter, to General Taylor, reads "I convey again a letter from the Duke of Cumberland in answer to mine of yesterday's neither the style nor the matter are of the most civil, and I leave it to your judgment to take notice of it or not. I shall either be silent or write as you think proper. The Lord Mayor's letter to Lord Morton in which he mentions my coming to the Mansion House was not in a manner sufficiently respectful to take notice of by me; for his words, I think, as far as I recollect, are, "if Her Majesty would come to the Mansion House, it would bring a large society and everybody would be finely dressed," but he says not a word else, and therefore I look upon it more as sounding my Lord Chamberlain if such a thing could be brought about; and knowing also that this is a trial for Charlotte to go there, which the Regent will not allow, I thought it best to pass it over in silence, but should a second attempt be made, I shall most certainly decline the invitation with all possible civility to the Lord Mayor and the City, with whom I hope to be in good friendship.I will only add how sorry I am to be the cause of so much trouble to you, and desire you to believe how sensibly I feel your readiness to assist me upon all occasions", three pages, folding marks and creasing, some age-related discolouration, 8vo, Queen's House, 28 June 1816.
