Blount Family Letters
At Geneva Sept. the 13th, 1725. My Lady. As I look upon the letter I have had the honour to receive from Your Ladyship, as upon the best instruction I could have, for bringing up Your Son to all what becomes a worthy gentleman, I shall never loose the sight of it, and keep it up in that of Mr. Blount upon all necessary occasions. He hath such a deep sense of Your Ladyship's tender love and care for him, that I am persuaded he will always thinck it not only his duty but also a gratitude he ow's You, to follow Your good advices. Your Ladyship may believe perhaps, that the article You presented to Mr. Blount for his economy is not well observed, when you shall hear that, I toock the nth of this month 1000 lires of this country upon his account, and for this reason I must tell You, that I wanted the greatest part of the said summ for my own behalf, and that the great Feast, which the French Resident hath given here this days, upon the occasion of his Master's Wedding, hath caused some expenses to all the foreign gentry that liveth here, they having all appeard in new Clothes at the Ball, where they was invited and very magnificently entertained. But I must tell, that Sir Charles and Mr. Blount have been very modest in their dress, having put no silver or goold upon their coats but buttons and button holes and a shoulder knot, which later part whas the general ornament of all the English gentry. As Mr. Blount wanted a coat for the winter, the expenses for it are only anticipated one month or two, and Your Ladyship may bee sure, that for a long time he will but spend very little. I have also provided him with half a dozen shirts and with some other things he was wanting. I humbly thank Your Ladyship for Your kind complimenting me upon the Professorship, which hath been given to me by the Republic. It is yet a meere title, and may only bee an advantage to me when I ressolve to stay here, which your Ladyship know's hath been my intention, before I took upon me to travell with Sir Charles and with Mr. Blount. I hope I shall not been hindered to accomplish the engagements I have taken with Your Ladyship and with My Lady Tyrell, but in case it should bee a great disadvantage for me, to leave this place after the profession I have taken upon me hade drawn some gentelmen here, I am so confident of Your Ladyship's Kindness and benevolencz, that I dare believe You will in such a case dispense me of my duty, and give me leave, that I may put an other gentelman in my place, for whose conduct I may answer, and by whom my young gentelmen may rather win than loose. S' Charles and Mr. Blount give their humble service to Your Ladyship and to Thomas. I beg of You the same favour, and am with the greatest respect and zeal for your service My Lady Your Ladyship's most humble and most obedient servant, Necker."[1]
Then the next letter from Necker :
Geneva, Oct. the 15th, 1725. My Lady. I have set out till now to answer to the letter which Your Ladyship hath written to me upon Sir Charles Tyrell's melancholy subject, because I expected to receive from his mother some ordres and instructions about it. They beeing not yet arrived. I think it necessary to let Your Ladyship know, that in case she should resolve to call him home, wich will bee the only expedient to draw him back from his unhappy inclinations. I shall not make this journey with him, but committ him to the care of some honest friend of mine, and consequently continue my care for your Son as long as Your Ladyship thinks it for his advantage to let him stay at this place. He understands now the french pretty well and improuveth likewise in his exercises. My opinion is that it will bee very profitable for him to stay here one year longer, which time I shall take care to make him spend to his best advantage. Having a mind to settle here as a Professor of the Acadamy, I will keep him with me cheaper than he hath been here before, of which I will send to Your Ladyship an account as soon as things come to change with Sir Charles. I do not dout but I shall find out a way before Mr. Blount quits this place to put him in the company of one of his country men that hath a worthy govenour, to whose case he may safly been committed, in case he should farther want an other direction. For I hope that if he stays here still a year, I shall make him fit to bee his own Govenour, as several young gentelmen must bee, and spare the expenses that a Govenour requires. Your Ladyship will have time enough to reflect upon this point, and You may been persuaded that I shall give to Your Son always the best advices for his true interest. I dare say, that he hath already much changed to his advantage for his manners, and that I know no vicious inclination in him. Your Ladyship will bee his best guide by Your wise counsels, which I shall respect also as my ordres and directions, beeing with a perfect zeal and devotion.My Lady "Your Ladyship's most humble and most obedient servant, Necker."[2]
and then another letter in French translated[3] Geneve le 2 Dec. 1726. Madame, It was 15 days ago today that I received from Genoa a letter from Mr. Blountt in which he told me that he had taken the resolution to separate from Mr. Rigot and continue his journey without him, because he found that the sum of 500II that You intended per year for his trips would not be enough for the expenses that he would be obliged to do, and that it would be better to use the money what would Mons cost him? Rigot has his little pleasures and has little shopping. I was very surprised by this resolution and first prayed Mr. Blount not to change anything with regard to the way in which his affairs were settled, until he had obtained your consent; I represented to him the reasons which had engaged you, Madame, to give him a companion, and that he was to be feared that being very happy with Mr. Rigot, as he told me in all his letters, you found bad that he wanted to leave them undo without your consent. I just learned now from another letter from Mr. Blount that he persists in his design, to the only reason for economics. I'll take care of you at the same time notify him, Madam, and assure you that he will always try to choose a good traveling companion from one place to another, to keep good economy and to behave in a way that its parents would be happy with it, especially since it is very obligatory for them of their tenderness and the expenses they make for him. I see in effect by several circumstances that he takes good account of his money and that he will set his expenses at the amount intended for him; And as it is in an age where people are obliged to conduct themselves, I flatter myself that he will use all his caution; and that he will not run any risk. I'm only angry, that he had not first declared his resolution to travel without director, because it was up to him to do it with your agreement, and that he could have saved a lot by doing so. Apart from I am ashamed to have committed Monsieur Rigot to something, which must give displeasure, and who greatly displeases his parents, who had incurred expenses for his crews. What A little comfort is that their son did not give birth to Mons. Blount to separate from him, and that they see by his letters that he was very happy with his conduct. I hope, Madam, that for the same reason You will not attribute these events to me, in case You were unhappy about it. Like Mr, Knight Tyrell will remain at least another year here, Mr. Blount wrote to him that he would pass through this city again in 8 or 9 months, which will make me a lot of pleasure. I will not stop giving him from time to time always my good opinions, and I will always look for them with pleasure occasions by which I could convince you of perfect respect with whom I have the honor of being Madam. "Your very humble and very obedient servant, Necker. “I ask Mr. Le Chevalier to accept my obedience. I am in a hurry, I wrote this letter in French
Sir Charles Tyrell married Jane Elizabeth, [4]daughter
of Monsieur Sellon, of Geneva, in 1726. he was to later fall bereft after Jane's untimely early death and fall in love with her sister offering marriage which she refuted, he endeavoured to gain acceptance from the Bishop of Canterbury which was refused and her sister again refused him as a result., he shot himself in the head and died 5 days later.
An undated letter, marked Dec. 27th, addressed [5] To My Lady Blount, Twickenham, in Middlesex. England. Madam, I do not have time to respond in detail to the letter that you did me the honor of writing to me on November 30th. I I only told you, Madam, that I have just received in this moment a letter from Mr. Blount, in which he tells me that he will continue his journey through Italy in the company of Mr. Rigot, and this mainly to what he says, to deliver You from concerns you might have if you travel alone. But he I hope that you will agree, Madam, that by returning through Geneva as he resolved to do, after he had toured Italy he can leave his companion here, and complete the rest of his journeys his will. Whereupon I would like to explain to you my sentiments by post next. Mr. Blount has left at my house a coffer in which he locked his portrait, his medals and other things that belong to him; but he doesn't not said, that I must send this chest to England, because it think of going back through Geneva, and then taking these himself clothes. My wife makes her very humble recommendations to you. I have the honor to be with perfect respect. Madam,Your most humble and obedient servant
Necker.[6]
Geneva 30 Dec 1726[7]
Madame,
I had the honor of informing you 8 days ago,
that Mr. your son had written to me that he would continue to travel with
Mr. Rigot; but I have just learned from a letter that I received
the day before yesterday, that Mr. Blount performed his first
resolution, without warning his companion until they had
both already took leave of their acquaintances in Genoa, and made
their trunks. All the reasons that Mr. Rigot gave for
preventing Mr. Blount from leaving alone accomplished nothing. He got
always cut back, sure that the expenses would go too far if it
kept, and he testified, leaving on ? for Milan with Mr.
Clifford, that it was with regret that he separated from Mr. Rigot. He him
made a present of 70 pistoles for expenses incurred on the occasion
of this trip and for the costs of his return. I only know
think, Madam, of this changeable mood of Mr. your son.
"It is a misfortune that he made his last decision before my
last letter, in which I told him that you were very
worried, Madam, that he wanted to dismiss Mr. Rigot, and that
I had constantly informed you that he would keep it, begging him to
persist in this feeling.
I didn't have time to write anything else Saturday to Mr.
Rigot. . . to stay in Genoa until I had
writes another letter. My intention is to try, if I still can
once bring back Mr. Blount with new representations, and
this while he is still in Milan where Mr. Rigot will soon be able to
join him. I fear, however, that Celly is tired of being played
so with Mr. Blount, and let him not be disgusted by traveling with him.
Finally, Madam, if the matter is without remedy, I would at least urge
Mr. your son in the strongest way to behave in a
manner which gives You no sorrow, and to follow exactly
your good opinions.
I would like, Madam, that you could persuade him
to go to Hannover, leaving Italy. I prescribed him a
road which will take him there through the main Courts of Germany.
The phlegm of the Germans will be very suitable to temper the too
great vivacity of Mr. Blount. The Duke of Edinburgh will make him,
I am sure of a very gracious welcome, and I will ask my friends to welcome him
render all kinds of good offices; so that I have no doubt
that he has a pleasant stay there, and that he does not get much out of it
advantages. I ask you, Madam, to be well convinced that I
take part in everything that concerns you, and that I will continue to do
wishes for the prosperity of your home, not only in the
new year that we will celebrate and that I wish you
perfectly happy, but all my life.
I have the honor to be with great respect Madam
Your very humble and very
obedient servant,
Necker.[8]
and another Letter addressed [9] To My Lady Blount, at Twickenham, County of Middlesex. England Geneva 16 Jan 1727 Madame,
Monsieur Blount informed me of his latest changement, by sending me the attached letters. I do not allege other reasons other than those of economics. It appears to me, however, from the account he made of his expenses, than the 500Lire that you intended for him could have been enough; and I am persuaded, Madam, that you would have preferred to add further something, in case it had been necessary, than to save something, by a misunderstood oeconomy. I do not doubt to the test, that Mons. Blount uses all his caution to the trip he makes through Italy, so that you do not have to Worry about him. He tells me he wants to go back through Geneva ; but I think it will be better for him to go straight to Hannover, for the reasons that I explained to you in a another letter. I wish the New Year to be perfectly happy for you Madam, and for your whole family. I have the honor to be with perfect respect Madam. Your very humble and very obedient servant, Necker.

Letter from Son James Pope Blount to mother Katherine:[10] From James Pope Blount to his mother, Katherine Lady Blount — For Lady Blount, at Twickenham, in Middlesex. Catch French near St. Germains in Cornwall By Collington Bay. July 5th 1737. Hon Madam, The account of the other side, I believe you'l find right, except the price of the Cracknells, which I desir'd Your Ladyship wou'd be so Good in my last letter of the 20th of May to pay to my Aunt Judy when Her next Quarter was due, and charge it to my Account. On the 25th of August next, there will be another year's Interest due on Mrs. Mayhew, viz., 5 Pounds which added to 2593 equals o6s, 6d. , as on the other side is 2598 equals o6s. 65d., which wants one Pound Thirteen Shillings & Five Pence Three Farthings of Two Thousand Six Hundred Pounds.
In a letter of Your Ladyship's of the i8th of Jan last, you are so Good as to say Six Months hence You will send me an annuity for Six Hundred Pounds. I shall now gladly accept of Your kind Offer. "There has come no letters here from Your Ladyship since the 20th of May last. Dr. Glanvil wrote to You since my time, we are fearful that Something is amiss in Your Family. I hope Worthy Mrs. Pope is quite recover'd of Her late indisposition. Dr. Glanvil is & will be for some months employ 'd in collecting the great and small tythes, & the poultry of all sorts is so largely Increas'd that Mrs. Glanvil and I have enough to do to attend them.
Mrs G. is now well again, but her active temper I fear will soon confine Her to Her Chamber. She is with the Dr. very much. Your Ladyship's Humble Servant, as is Hon Madam with due Submission Your Obedient Son & Oblig'd Humble Servant,James Pope Blount. I'll Beg My Humble Duty to my Worthy Aunts. I have heard lately of several Accidents that has happen'd by eating of Cherry Stones. Dr. G. says it is oftentimes dangerous & has order'd all His Family never to swallow any Cherry Stones. I paid the Dr. His Quarteridge of 7 ids. on Midsummer Day.
From James Pope Blount to Katherine Lady Blount [11] For Lady Blount at Twickenham in Middlesex Newport in the Isle of Wight Mondy- Dec 16 1738 Hono Maum. I thank you for Your Letter & for your gift of Theophilus etc: whichI have once read, & design to read it often carefully Over. By Mrs. Serle's advice I shall remove to another lodging here in Town when my quarter is out, which will be on the 27 of this month : there is many good reasons occasions my leaving Mr. Wise, thechief One is, t'is suspected He kisses His maid, & another inconvenience is. His business often causes His being from Home, at times there is none left in the House but the Maid & I. The person who I am going to is one Mr. Bowdin an elderly Man by Trade a Grocer. He has in His Family a Wife, a Daughter a Woman, Two Servants, & Two Tradesmen Sons both very Young, who go to Mr. Dickinson's School, the Worthy Minister of this Town ; this I fancy will be pleasanter than having only 3 in Family, as soon as I am remov'd I will let you know. Mr. Bowdin's House nearly joins to the Church, and what I like is, the Church Yard is at a great distance out of Town, whichoften harbour wicked people in the night. Our Head Magistrate here, the Mayor, who was Collector of the Customs a place of above £20 ann. has defrauded the Government of above L2,300 in 2 years' & in order to prevent the fraud from being found out, forg'd several bills; He is now turn'd out. His House secur'd, and the purchase mony, is lost, besides He must pay security mony. This man proves thatthere is no real advantage to be reap'd by Sin ; all you get is got by it is Trouble, Mischief & Shame, & one can have no expec- tations from the Source, but Death & Ruin.
I was lately very uneasy in my mind in Bed, fearing I had committed the Sin against the Holy Ghost : but providentially by chance reading Bp. Taylor's Opinion of Sin, for sake of Sick & Doubting Persons, says, certain it is. No One commits a Sin against the Holy Ghost, if He be afraid He hath, & desires He had not done it ; for such penitential passions are against Defini- tions of Sin ' & if this is the case, I think No One living can be guilty of Sin. Yesterday I finish'd the reading of Vol. 2 of 54 Sermons preach'd at Berry Street 1733, by 6 Dissenting Ministers, One of Hell or the Final Misery of the Wicked. The words are ' If a Sinner in Hell did but know that He shou'd suffer those Torments no more than a thousand years ; or no more thousand of years than there are Sands upon the Sea Shore, or Spires of Grass upon the Face of the whole Earth ; it wou'd rejoyce him to think that however there wou'd be an End. But no End ! never ! Never !
To do Justice to your Ladyship, I must own up You have taken care that I cannot plead Ignorance of my Duty. I likewise must add that I have had fair warning. "The 1st of November next being the birth day of Your Unfortunate Son, I shall beg You on my account to give to 33 poor Families 33 peck loaves but I desire they may not know the Donor. All that I can say at present more is yours. I am gratefully Your Ladyship's Obed' Son & Servant James Pope Blount. I hope Good Mrs. Pope & my Aunts are well.
A letter from the family doctor to mother Lady Katherine:[12]
(Dr. Glanville seems to have remained a friend of the family, for there is a long letter written to Katherine Lady Blount by him.
It is dated from Catchfrench, June 2ist, 1745, and commences) —
Madm. It is a while since I r'ced Your Ladyship's last, & I
ought to have answered it sooner but we have nothing here worth
your knowledge, & Politicks are so bad, & Consequences so fatal
& disagreeable, that one would forget them as much as one could,
or ought ; all I shall now say is, that my opinion, that the Queen of
Hungary's principal vein was, & ever will be, to make her Husband
Emperor of Germany, is sufficiently justified, from whence it
follows that a Peace is impossible till France is brought very low,
or we are made a Province, one must happen, which first the uncertain event of War will determin, sooner or later : things are much against us at present, nor do I see the Power of France
abates, their Politicks are good, & their Schemes are well laid for
themselves; I own it is our interest to get the Duke of Tuscany
chosen, but then France will never lay down y Sword, & if any
other is chosen the Q of Hungary will never lay it down, so that we
are in a fine Condition ; who France would have for Emperor I
have never heard ; Probably the Elector of Bavaria again, perhaps
even the King of Prussia, who has further views than Silesia, & as
for his becoming a Papist for it, he won't stick at that, there is very
little difference between the Nonsense of Consubstantiation &
Transubstantiation, he that believes one will be easily persuaded to
the other, so Prussia's King has but a slight Transition to qualify
him for Emperor.
A member here, a good Freind to our Constitution, told me that there was such an Indolence & carelessness above, that one would think they had given all up, quite indifferent how things went abroad or at Home, or affairs were so perplex'd, that they know not what to do ; nor do I see we are able to do much, so that our safety depends upon Providential accidents in our favour. I hear also that Luxury, & all sorts of Pleasures are carried to vast hights in London, & Doubtless the Country will be infected in proportion, 'tis said that more new Coaches were made last year, than in the South Sea Year, what will this end in : tis true if these Vices do not enervate us & make us poor with respect to Foreigners, by lessening that Trade ; & sending Money out of our Nation ; the General Kingdom will not be hurt ; only the individual fools who are so vicious ; the Money only changes Masters, not Kingdoms, but I fear that our Luxury is supplyed from abroad, & our Money goes for it there ; and Trade neglected, & then the effects will be fatal, but Your Ladyship may know more of this than I can ; this I know, that both abroad, and at Home the prospect is bad . .
Dr. Glanville then gives some descriptions of diseases and their cure, and after a long explanation regarding the state of his private affairs, he begs to borrow the sum of £?oo. He continues I hope Sir Harry is quite at peace with you, & that you have made him sensible, what a blessing prudence is, this will make the rest of your life happy, this join'd to thepresent enjoyment in Mrs. Freeman, and the pleasing Prospect of theContinuance of it in a Daughter ; pray my very humble Service and good Wishes to that family. I am sorry at the Distress of the Mashborn's, the vicious must expect misfortunes, but tis hard for the industrious to suffer I have often wondered at the lunacy of your Footman an unaccountable distemper, as it depends upon the Disorder of the finest Textures of the Body, very little is to be done' by medecin, there are no certain Cures for mad People, time unaccountably does all, there are no Specificks for it in Physick, all that is done that way, is by temperance and violent .... I suppose the poor fellow is dead And now Mad. I heartily wish you health, and Peace of mind in respect to other People, Peace of Conscience You have, & so you are happy ; as you told me Mr. Pope said, none but the good are so . . . ."
A letter from Sir Harry (Henry) Pope Blount to mother Katerine: [13]
"To the Lady Blount
at Twickenham. Middlesex
" Tittenhanger Aug* i, 1742
- HoN° Madam,
•* My Aunt Butler takes no Notice of my Letters, that I must write to Your LadyP who are nearer to me being my Mother, & as such if You are not different from all y^ Parents of world who have any Religion, You will have some Tenderness for a son who was Child of all Your Children who Lov'd You best, & whom You flatter'd You Lov'd best, was y^ Child I am sure who trusted You most. 1 have been Implicitly Obedient to Your LadyP- have done nothing to forfeit y^ Tenderness You owe me, but Resenting what flesh & blood cou'd not help Resenting, that Treatment I met with as soon as I was of age by y^ Settlement then, & again by my Marriage Settlement when I gave a fair sum as I thought for a Fair 800/. a year, supposing it wou'd always last (at least for my Wives & my Life) 800/, a year, Had I Madam drawn You in by these Settlements to loose any part of Your Jointure, or Your rights, for y^ Injustice is as Natural of y^ one side as y« other, what is it that You wou'd not have though't of me ? what Usage & Contempt Madam shou'd not I have deserv'd at Your hands? these things Madam, & a place so long forsaken by my Family & left upon n)e to take care of, besides y^ excessive Losses from Stewards not of my own putting in, & Tenants, have so totally
reduc'd me, that if you will believe me, as there is a God in Heaven, my Wife & I have not had one farthing of Mony for a month together, & now I have only one sixpence more, even some of my Michaelmas rents are pay'd. Poor people have been arrested because I cou'd not pay 'em, & it is only from Gods Providence I have not been in a Gail.
- Among y^ many things to pull me down," I shou'd have nam'd
Lawsuits which I was oblig'd too to get my own, & now I am ingag'd in 2 Chancery suits for y^ London Houses which continue Madam still unlet, & instead of £143 a year which I bought 'em at will in y^ years end, after Taxes payd, bring me in I fear nothing. Yet Madam these Houses had I mony or power like every other Gentleman but myself in England might be made something worth. It grieves me Madam that You force me & my Necessity together to have a 3^^ Chancery suit with Your LadyP' or what is y^ same Your Tenants. I look upon y^ Tithes Madam as my due as much as any thing else I inherited at my poor Fathers death, & Your LadyP if I mistake not own'd my right to 'em by once offering to compound for 'em in Mony, I may then take 'em in y^ way I please in Kind, but Your LadyP has injoin'd Your Tenants not to let me
have 'em in Kind, k they have obey'd Your Orders. All Ani- mositys & Quarrels in all cases might have an end if y^ Partys wou'd
give one another a fair Hearing, but there are others whose Interest it is to keep 'em up, Ashtons who made y^ settlements so are oblig'd to maintain 'em, who get Mony by y^ Combustion these Settlements make so are glad to blow y^ Coals. Miss Jane Walley whom Your LadyP has an Opinion of, cou'd tell You how Ashton acted to her Mother. I tell You Madam were it not for him & such people Your LadyP & I might still be Friends, & both keep unmolested our own, but as it Your LadyP I am sure is made Unhappy & I am Miserable & Ruin'd. " My wife is Your LadyP^ if You will accept of her, & I Madam am as I have always been " Your Ladyps dutyful affectionate Son & Humb* Servant

At the end of his accounts for the year 1740, this note is written by his hand : — "rents tax'd

" Grimston George Grimston Wm. Day."
In others are signatures of Geo. Grimston, A. Buck- nail, Tho. Gape. [16]
The following letter from Sir Harry has no address, [17]but is evidently written to his brother-in-law, William Freman. " Dear Brother,
