Summary

Letter from Elizabeth Ducarel to her father, G.G. Ducarel, arguing in favor of her marriage to the Comte de la Pasture.

Notes

• Correspondence of G.G. Ducarel regarding his daughter Elizabeth, Betsy, and her two brief marriages. Elizabeth is the name of Elizabeth Ducarel's daughter, whom she had with her first husband, Archibald Hamilton Foulkes. After his death in 1795, Elizabeth Ducarel eventually married Pierre Marie François de la Pasture, the Comte de la Pasture, referred to in this letter as the C de P. The Comte was a French noble who immigrated to Britain due to the French Revolution, one of the reasons why G.G. Ducarel originally opposed their union. The Bob Sutton referenced in this letter may be Robert William Evelyn Sutton, a relative.
