Scope and Content

Concerns his comments on Lady Burlington's will: "[it] is so snesible, it will do honor to her memory and make all her late inconsistency's be forgot. I most sincerely was inclined to wish her well, for the same reason that you show;d her so much regard". He congratulates the 4th Duke on inheriting Chiswick and Londesborough: "either would be a treasure to most people, and you will be rather indifferent about them". Written from Wentworth Castle. Signed: "Strafford".
