Stuart, Charles Edward, called "Bonnie Prince Charlie" or "The Young Pretender" (1720-1788) concerning his financial affairs, in the form of a list headed "1747" and then several indistinct figures ending "S.L. 52 Spent. S[i]r John Lambert" "ye T.P. to draw on Waters. M[emoran]d[um] Di to know from Gordon ye Post Book, ye Wine ye silver for 25. Louis ye servant to be german ye detail of all yr rents with ye form used by J.W. to receive them and the man[n]er I can make one. ye affair of Vignion & ye interest of 5 per C[ent] all to be put in clier having ye acquittances also ye Ordon[n]ances to be given im[m]ediately - for ye amount of 102 T. ye Linnin that is nott to be seen how to wash. If G knows a gentilman"., 1 page, 16mo, n.p. 1747Footnote: Note: The Young Pretender, in dangerous exile in France, often wrote in the vaguest terms. Margaret Foster, in her biography of the Prince wrote that "His fear of detection would not allow him to sign his name or date his letters. Often these missives were written in invisible ink and in disguised hands even worse than Charles' own. The names he did sign at the end only added to the confusion for they changed with bewildering rapidity and it was like receiving anonymous letters which... were difficult to accept as trustworthy". The Waters mentioned in the letter is Charles Edward's Parisian banker. The reference to Vignion presumably indicates Avignon where he spent some of his time in exile. Gordon may be John Gordon, Rector of the Scots College at Paris, to whom the Prince is known to have written at various times. It may be that the reference to "ye Linnin" is in code.
