Letter in relation to the genealogy of the Earls of Charleville

Ms. letter from Richard [George], Carlton Chambers, London to The Rt. Hon. Earl of Charleville, seeking to obtain an accurate genealogy of the Charleville family “for the purposes of a national work, having exclusive reference to the aristocracy of the empire”. George encloses a recent printed account of the family and desires that the Earl peruse and return it at his earliest convenience. He expresses his particular interest in the present and preceding two generations of the Charleville family which “shall be a worthy……of Sir Egerton Brydger’s noble genealogies and such as can be published with your Lordship’s approval”. George refers to his own lineage as a way of excusing his intrusion on the Earl’s time, and claims that he is son of the Vicar of Myborough, Devon, and that he has been long engaged in said work, “which has the approbation of many distinguished parties”.

Bury, Charles William, 2nd earl of Charleville
