BRAND & CO.'S 66 STICKING TOGETHER in all SORTS of WEATHER."-The friendship between man and man which enables them to stick together in all sorts of weather is a friendship worth having. In times of prosperity some of us can hardly distinguish a friend of this kind from one of the other sort. But let the storm clouds gather, and we soon know who the true friend is. And when the clouds of sickness gather about us we turn naturally and instinctively to HOLLOWAY'S PILLS and OINTMENT. They are the only friends whose friendship is worth a rap at such times. We know it, and we turn to them, confident in the knowledge that they will restore us to health. LONDON, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1895.

The following five letters, copied from the originals at Ditton by Mr. Chas. Montagu-Douglas Scott, are, by permission of the Duchess Dowager of Buccleuch, offered for preservation in the pages of N. & Q. They may afford some light to the future inquirer in his search for matter illustrative of the history of the period when they were written. They enable us to see something of the inner life of Westminster School, and give us a somewhat favourable glimpse of its castigating master. From Lady Winwood to Lord Montagu of Boughton; original letter at Ditton Park. MY HONOURED LORD,-Acordinge to your dessire your sonne and my daughttor haue mette, and made some triall each of other's affections, which I did the readyer give way to, being well persuaded of your Lo: bountifull and noble dispotione, and well assured of your religious profestione, and hauing good hope Mr Montagu will he in euerie of these approve himselfe to be descended of so worthy a father. Upon my earnest pressure of him to dealle clearly with me in his likinge, he professed freely that of him selfe, and not by the labor of frends, hee did affectt my Daughttor: which gives me much satisfaction, and though I can not yett give your Lo: the like in my daughttor, yett I see good hopes to inuite you to Towne, and such as althinges sucksedinge from your Lo: and Mr Montagu according to our present expectation of you both gives me good reason to be leaue shee may incline to receaue your sonne with the affection he dessires The writer of these letters was daughter and coheir of Nicholas Ball, of Totness, co. Devon, and Bristol, merchant. She married Sir Ralph Winwood, Knt., of Ditton and Quainton, co. Bucks, and survived him forty years, living most of that time at Ditton Park. Her stepfather was Sir Thomas Bodley. The marriage between the two young people mentioned in this letter did not, it may be feared, produce quite the amount of happiness which the writer appears to have anticipated, for the bride is reported to have offended her father-in-law, when visiting him at Boughton, by absenting herself from family worship. Her Puritanical tendencies caused her to object to the Liturgy of the Church of England. (See Fuller's 'Worthies.") She died before her husband succeeded to the title, and was buried in the family vault of Little St. Bartholomew's, London. The funeral expenses amounted to ll. 28. 4d.+ The issue of this marriage was Edward, who was killed in the naval engagement off Bergen, 1665; Ralph, afterwards first Duke of Montagu; and Elizabeth; all of whom are referred to in the following letters. title and estates in 1644. Weekley, Kettering. (To be continued.) *For some account of him and his wife see Pepys. He was buried in Weekley Church, Sept. 10, 1706. † MS. at Ditton Park. |
