which lady he addressed, on December 10, as 'l'Adorable,' 'avec toute
la tendresse possible.' On November 28, 'R. Jackson' writes from
England. He saw Dr. King (of St. Mary Hall, Oxford), who had been at
Lichfield races, 'and had a list of the 275 gentlemen who were
there.' This Mr. Jackson was going to Jamaica, to Henry Dawkins,
brother of Jemmy Dawkins, a rich and scholarly planter who played a
great part, later, in Jacobite affairs.

In 1750, February found Charles still without a reply to his letter
of May 26, in which he made an anonymous appeal for shelter in
Imperial territories. Orders to Goring, who had been sent to Lally,
bid him 'take care not to get benighted in the woods and dangerous
places.' A good deal is said about a marble bust of the Prince at
which Lemoine is working, the original, probably, of the plaster
busts sold in autumn in Red Lion Square. 'Newton' (January 28)
thinks Cluny wilfully dilatory about sending the Loch Arkaig
treasure, and AEneas Macdonald, the banker, one of the Seven Men of
Moidart, accuses 'Newton' (Kennedy) of losing 8001. of the money at
Newmarket races! In fact, Young Glengarry and Archibald Cameron had
been helping themselves freely to the treasure at this very time,
whence came endless trouble and recriminations, as we shall see. {92}

On January 25 the Prince was embroiled with Madame de Talmond. He
writes, obviously in answer to remonstrances:

'Nous nous prometons de suivre en tout les volontes et les
arrangemens de notre fidele amie et alliee, L. P. D. T.; nous retirer
aux heures qu'il lui conviendra a la ditte P, soit de jour, soit de
nuit, soit de ses etats, en foy de quoi nous signons. C.'
