Duchess of Gloucester et al. in London - February, 1842
from Letter from Baroness Bunsen to her mother Mrs Waddington, 3 Feb. 1842, page 42:
3 Feb., 1842. – On Monday we dined at Stafford House, where we were received with great kindness…. I was presented to the Duchess of Gloucester, who called me ‘the daughter of her old friend, Mrs Waddington.’ Being taken in to dinner by Lord John Russell, I found him a most agreeable neighbour…. The house is beautiful, the staircase especially, and a fine band played the whole evening, concluding with a composition of Prince Radziwill, never before heard in England, which was an attention to the King.
