• Notes

  --- "The Autobiography and Correspondence of Mary Granville, Mrs. Delany" Vol 1, Richard Bentley, 1862, page 202: Mrs. H. Mead to Miss Dewes (Welsbourne, Feb. 2nd, 1769) . . . Mr. Mordaunt was so good to offer to send his coach or his chaise. I like the bride very much; she seems sensible, and appears of an obliging disposition, and behaves very affectionately to the eldest ladies as well as Miss Mary. She was dressed in a handsome white tissue negative, no jewels except pearl buttons, necklace and earrings, and those of the small sort; Mr. Mordaunt in light cloth, with a silver tissue waistcoat. I think Mrs. Mordaunt is rather plain (though your papa says she was "handsome enough for a wife"); the upper part of her face is rather handsome, pretty good eyes and nose, but a bad mouth, rather long visage, and pale though fair, and dark hair, she is tall and genteel, and a good figure in dancing.
