“24th Jan., 1793.
“Dear Mrs. Ord,

“I have only a moment before the post goes out . . . . An account is come that the King of France was executed on Monday morning. Everything in Paris bore the appearance of another tumult and massacre. Bad as I am thought, I cannot express the horror I feel at this atrocity.

“Yours affectionately,
“C. Grey.

“War is certain, and—God grant we may not all lament the consequences of it!”
