Althorp Papers. Vol. cccvi-cccviii. Correspondence of Lady Spencer with her daughter, Henrietta, wife of Frederick Ponsonby, Viscount Duncannon, 3rd Earl of Bessborough; [1768?]-1814. The letters from Lady Bessborough, chiefly of the period 1809-1814, represent only a fraction of those she wrote to her mother, the remainder having been returned to her family after Lady Spencer's death in 1814. Those of Lady Spencer end in 1789. A few of them, and others after 1789, are printed in Lady Bessborough and her Family Circle, ed. the Earl of Bessborough and A. Aspinall (1940). According to a note in the typescript catalogue of 1920, the letters of Lady Spencer were purchased and added to the family archive by John Poyntz, 5th Earl Spencer.
Three volumes.
