Royalty - Queen Charlotte Sophia (1744-1818), George III's Consort, an unsigned list of 1pp in ink manuscript, tabulating payments in "Gineas" (sic) to Lady Charlotte Finsh (sic, Finch, Royal Governess from 1762-1793) of 20 guineas, Misses (sic) Boucher 50 guineas, Misses Hammilton (sic, Hamilton) 50 guineas, two 'A Lady in Germany' at 50 guineas each, Linike 50 guineas, Schwellenberg each Month 24 guineas, Chevalier Oliveyra each Week 2 guineas, Dairy Woman 26 guineas, Schwellenberg & Hagedorn 42 guineas, with such a cast of names from every social position the mind boggles as to the nature of this odd account, undated but presumably written by a young Queen Charlotte given the incorrect English surnames and titles which show a degree of naivety with the English language, the lower-right margin is autographed and inscribed by Edward Harding (1755-1840), Librarian to Her Majesty: "Her Majesty Queen Charlotte's Writing", formerly with Winifred A. Myers of London, [1]
