For Lady Ashbourne, see her husband s entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. Before receiving Lady Ashbourne s invitation, The Duke & Duchess of Abercorns, [sic] my Cousins, had begged us attend a Masonic Concert the 18th. & we accepted, & now the Duchess writes they will be at the Vice Regal Lodge, so perhaps, all are going for the Second Part from your Dinner, otherwise the Prince does not like to throw over the Abercorns, we are so vexed & not our fault .
