On Tuesday, January 19th, my husband carried the Speaker, Sir Edward
Turner's eldest son, and my brother Turner, to the King, at Whitehall,
who conferred the honour of knighthood on them both, my husband

at ten of the clock towards Portsmouth.

The company of our family was my husband, myself, and four daughters;
Mr. Bertie, son to the Earl of Lindsey, Lord Great Chamberlain of
