A young woman sought the position as wet nurse to the Royal Infant. Richard appointed her after a simple, detailed interview conducted by a board of medical advisers. She answered questions in French, which prompted some dialogue. The Princess Charlotte and Prince Leopold later met her and the children. The woman, near confinement, showed charm and modesty, preferred returning to her husband’s home, and was offered lodging at Claremont but chose to depart for home. The Herald notes the modest reward for the birth and the status of the nurse’s family, including connections to Claremont and local gentry.

Sunday night around eight Archdeacon Cotlis and his son Captain Collis faced a band of four to five men who forced entry and demanded money and arms.
