114. Charlotte ( daughter of George IV and Queen Caroline, Princess, 1796-1817) Copy letter to her mother, Caroline of Brunswick, 5pp., 4to, October 1817, written shortly before giving birth, "A very few days will elapse before I may claim to be addressed by the endearing appellation with which I have commenced this letter... . But O my Mother, when my timid imagination devolves upon the uncertainty which avails the futurity, when I look to the dark possibilities, which may put a period to the dreams of Hope, even shadows shake my courage, and I feel muself the victim of terror, which reason would almost denominate absurd. At such a trying time why am I debared from the consoling voice of maternal affection?", folds, browned.
