iv Princess of this realm, so well qualified to judge of their merits, is inclined to certify their value. Should times, which God forbid! call for a similar exertion, may the descendants of Lady Fanshawe prove that loyalty and courage did not die with her; but that those qualities still animate the hearts and steel the hands of her family, "Like men to conquer, or like Christians fall." I have the honour to be, Madam, with sentiments of the highest gratitude and respect, Your Royal Highness's devoted and most obedient humble Servant, CHARLES ROBERT FANSHAWE. |
