Letterbooks, 1792-1802.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36806054

Letterbooks containing letters (most in French) to de Curt and a few letters refering to him. Vol. 1 contains many letters from Charles Jenkinson, Lord Hawkesbury (later first Earl of Liverpool) discussing the French West Indies in his capacity as Minister for Navy and Commerce. Hawkesbury referred in particular to the 1794 capture of the West Indies by Sir Charles Grey and Sir John Jervis, also mentioning de Curt's plan to recover Guadaloupe and the circulation of counterfeit mony in Martinique. A few references were made to the French Revolution. Other correspondents include Emily Mary, the Marchioness of Salisbury, and Henry Dundas, both of whom wrote concerning current events and personal affairs.
