    Lady Harrowby to her brother (Granville Leveson Gower)
    Grosr Square, Friday, 16th August, 1805.
    My very dear Granville,--- After the sad letter the last mail brought you from Ld. H. you will not be surpized to receive the dismal tidings that our dear, dear Mother is now no more. She expired yesterday afternoon soon after three o'clock without a groan, having, I fear, previously suffered considerably during a whole week; her death was therefore a release to her, and I trust now she is receiving the reward of her exemplary and actively virtuous and pious life. You may judge of Charlotte's feelings and mine upon this occasion by your own upon the receipt of this. She was the kindest of Mothers to us all, my dear G., and I hope and trust you will always bear in mind her particularly fond, doting affection for you, together with the earnest advice she has given you these few last years. The last letter recd. from her (not written a fortnight ago) from Bognor expressed the greatest anxiety concerning you. Poor Ly. Euphemia's attention to her was unwearied to the last moment, and I am sure you will join with me in rejoicing that my mother has so kindly remembered her in her will, of which I send you a copy. It was opened in presence of my brother, Charlotte and the Duke, Mr. Eliot, Ld. H. and myself; and as my Brother is not remaining in London (having arrived from Wolmers today upon this business merely), and as the Duke of B. must go to his Tegt. at Lewes, as he has recd. peremptory orders so to do, the Invasion being daily expected, such being the case and Mr. Eliot at Greenwich, busied with preparations for their departure for Madeira the middle of next month, Lord H. has undertaken to pay servants, bills, and to do a few necessary things for you about which he is to consult Mr. Lowndes. The remainder will all remain just as they are now, till orders are recd. from you. When Mr. E. left Croom's Hill this morning Georgiana was not made aware that all was over, but she knew everything short of that, and bore it fully as well as one could expect. I therefore hope that tho' the stroke will be a severe one to her, and will and must affect her strongly, yet that her health will not be materially injured by the sad truth. You shall hear again from one of us after Ld. H. has seen Mr. Lowndes. --- Adieu, my dearest brother, yours in haste,
    S.H.

    Lady Bessborough to Granville Leveson Gower
    Grosr Square, Friday, 16th August, 1805.
    . . . Think of what I felt when on driving to the door to enquire I found all over. Both your sisters were there, but Ly. G. Eliot was not told for some days. . . .
    There can be no doubt for her (GLG's mother) it is a blessing; she never has been happy since your poor father's death, and never could have been so.
