Informal letters to a favourite niece, in the first describing his country pursuits, 'tho we have had much raine here, it has happned so, as not to hinder neither hunting, nor hawking, I was out today a Stag hunting', and a round of imminent visits to see Salisbury Cathedral and Wilton and from Southampton to Portsmouth 'in the yachts'. In London, 'realy ashamed to have been so long without writing to you', the Duke is very busy on account of the return of the Duke of Monmouth, while Algernon Sydney is to be beheaded [for treason] on Tower Hill.
