Saying "I do myself the pleasure of acknowledging your favor . . . and of enclosing a note for Lord Spencer, which I would wish our worthy friend, Sir Willm Parsons, to present in person, in order that he may the better be able to judge of the effect it is likely to produce . . . if my application is attended with success, I shall feel very highly gratified, in having had an opportunity, at the same time of serving him, and of marking my good will towards you . . ."

Edward, Duke of Kent, was noted for his difficult temperament. His military career ended in 1803, after an enquiry into his exceptionally harsh conduct as commander of the troops stationed at Gibraltar. Frustrated in his military career, and almost always in debt, he had found domestic contentment with his French mistress Mme de St. Laurent. This idyll came to an end after twenty-seven happy years, when in 1817 Princess Charlotte, George IV's daughter and heir, died giving birth to a stillborn son. With the sudden lack of legitimate heirs to the throne, George IV's unmarried brothers were forced to give up their mistresses and marry suitable European Princesses. Edward married the Dowager Princess of Leiningen in 1818, and their daughter, Victoria, was born the next year. A year later the Duke was to die of a lung infection contracted during a particularly harsh winter in Devon, where he had moved with his family in yet another attempt to save money and clear his debts
