“Bansted, May 26th.

“. . . Sefton went down to the House to hear the two Royal Messages which it was known were coming—one to enable some one to sign poor Prinney’s name for him,† and the other to shew up Leopold for having jibbed at last as to taking Greece upon himself. To be sure, this jib of his has not been brought about by the King’s illness! I suppose Mrs. Kent thinks her daughter’s reign is coming on apace, and that her brother may be of use to her as versus Cumberland. . . . We were all on the course at Epsom yesterday and saw poor Prinney’s horse ‘The Colonel’ win the Craven Stakes. If ‘Captain Arthur’ should win [the Derby] next Thursday, all Lord Sefton would pocket in bets and stakes would be £12,500—that’s all!‡ Gully is quite sure his horse Red Rover will win;§ Chifney equally sure that Priam will‖ notwithstanding that Lord Ranelagh says he trusts in God that heathen god Priam can never win.”
