[[his father] Charles Fitzroy 2nd Duke Grafton (age 59)] ... is so unhappy in his heir apparent (age 25), that he checks his hand in almost everything he undertakes. Last week he heard a new exploit of his barbarity. A tenant of Lord Euston (age 27) in Northamptonshire brought him his rent, and the Lord said it wanted three and sixpence: the tenant begged he would examine the account, that it would prove exact - however, to content him, he would willingly pay him the three and sixpence. Lord E (age 27). flew into a rage and vowed he would write to the Duke (age 59) to have him turned out of a little place he has in the post office of thirty pounds a year.

But the Duke (age 59) told him he had tried him too often to be deceived any more and that God was his witness that no man ever loved his son more tenderly, and seen him lost with greater pain, but that was over now; that he attempted in vain to move the bowels of a father who had long since looked upon himself to have no son.
