Letters, 1773-1778, of Hugh Home Campbell, 3rd Earl of Marchmont, to George Rose, with three later letters, 1790, 1792, and 1793.
Scope and Contents
The letters deal very largely with domestic affairs and miscellaneous problems of estate management at Hemel Hempstead; but there are also extensive comments on the politics of the day, particularly on the course of the American War.
At the end of the volume are four documents relating to the Earl of Marchmont's affairs but unconnected with the correspondence.
