For the context of this letter see David J. Cox, 'A Certain Share of Low Cunning: A History of the Bow Street Runners, 1792-1839' (2010): 'From 1792 at least two Principal Officers were also permanently stationed at Windsor after the King had received several death threats. These Officers were considered to be part of the royal retinue [] William Anthony, who became an active Principal Officer by 1800, had originally launched his career by attending the King at St James and was transferred to Windsor in 1796.' The unnamed recipient is probably Richard Ford (1758-1806), the London police magistrate acting for the Home Office, the Duke of Portland being Home Secretary at the time. (Cox supports the view that Ford 'could in some ways be regarded as a "quasi" permanent Under-Secretary, coordinating Bow Street's assistance to the Home Department in its investigative work'.) 1p, 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded three times and endorsed on reverse of second leaf. Having received that morning the unnamed recipient's letter, 'respecting the appointment on trial of William Anthony of the Bow Street Office, in the room of Samuel Mayner lately deceased', he can report that 'Anthony is arrived, & officiated this Morning, & by the character given of Him, & from His appearance, He seems likely to do very well in his new situation'. He 'took an early opportunity' of mentioning to the king 'that the Duke of Portland had appointed William Anthony to be stationed at Windsor, & also that I had received this communication thro' You, all which arrangement His Majesty seem'd to approve of '. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.…

The subject of the letter is clearly a seditious communication found in the Windsor area and brought to Greville's attention, which he is forwarding for the attention of the Home Secretary, the Duke of Portland. David J. Cox casts light on the context in his 'A Certain Share of Low Cunning: A History of the Bow Street Runners, 1792-1839' (2010), stating that from 1792 'at least two Principal Officers were also permanently stationed at Windsor after the King had received several death threats'. The unnamed recipient is probably Richard Ford (1758-1806), the London police magistrate acting for the Home Office. (Cox supports the view that Ford 'could in some ways be regarded as a "quasi" permanent Under-Secretary, coordinating Bow Street's assistance to the Home Department in its investigative work'.) 1p, 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded three times. The endorsement on the reverse of second leaf notes 'one Enclosure', but this is not present. Greville begins the letter: 'Sir | Late Yesterday Evening two respectable Tradesmen of Windsor came to The Queens Lodge & enquired for me on my seeing them, they deliver'd the enclosed to Me, which they informed Me had been thrown Yesterday Evening down the Area of one of their Houses, & found by the Maid Servant who brought it to Them. On examining the contents they were induced immediately to wait upon me with it.' The 'only step's Greville has taken are to ask the men 'not to make mention of the circumstance, or contents of the inclosed, in Windsor but I have given Maynard & Jealous (Officers from the Public Office in Bow Street) directions to keep a good look out, & shall use every means which I think may be useful or proper on this occasion.' He is putting 'the original Letter' in the recipient's hands, 'requesting that You will have the goodness to lay it before the Duke of Portland, by doing which, I shall have the satisfaction of knowing that every necessary attention will be paid to this business, thro' the properest, & best directed channel'. In a postscript he gives 'The Tradesmens names': 'Mr. Dixon, Shoemaker in Thames Street Windsor | Mr. German, Taylor in Thames Street Windsor'. Cox lists 'Maynard' and 'Jeallous [sic]' among the 'particular personnel' requested to accompany the king on journey from Windsor to Weymouth. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library.
