Letter from Jonathan Swift to Henrietta Howard, 21st November 1730. Artist: Jonathan Swift

Letter from Jonathan Swift to Henrietta Howard, 21st November 1730. Letter written from Dublin by Swift, Dean of St Patrick s, to Henrietta, Bedchamber-woman to Queen Caroline and wife of the Hon Charles Howard (Earl of Suffolk, 1731). The letter complains that the Queen has not performed her promise to give him a medal, and of her having sacrificed John Gay, the poet, to the pique of Sir Robert Walpole, and expressing the wish that the Queen would remember what he had said to her about Ireland, also blaming Mrs Howard for having misled him by hints of preferment in England on the Kings accession and congratulating her on her (supposed) loss of favour at Court, with compliments on her character etc. From the third series of Facsimiles of royal, historical, literary and other autographs in the Department of Manuscripts, British Museum: Series I-V, (London, 1899)
