Francis Kirke Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Francis had enjoyed his afternoon card game and had then set out to answering some correspondence before supper. Before doing so, he penned a note to the Duke of Cumberland and sent it off with a few bottles of Kingston's best cider and his blood orange brandy. After the required salutations, it read: Quote I was hoping Your Highness would have some time to spare to discuss the yacht races to benefit the Navy in the coming days. In addition, I gave my promise that I would bring any names to you who showed promise in the area of your scientific interests and there is one I should like to discuss if the time might be spared for such. I shall attend at your convenience. Your servant, Kingston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
