Lady Hamilton's correspondence with the Hon. C F Greville (originals), 1782-99, see appendix.

Administrative / biographical background
Charles Francis Greville (1749–1809) was a mineralogist and horticulturist. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1772. Later vice-president of the society, he contributed two papers to its Philosophical Transactions. He was on the Board of Trade from 1774 to 1780 and he later left to become a lord of the Admiralty. From 1794 to his death he was vice-chamberlain of the royal household. Greville is most commonly remembered for his involvement with Emma Lyon (1765–1815) later the wife of his uncle William Hamilton (1731–1803) and subsequently the mistress of Horatio Nelson. They lived in Paddington Green, Middlesex, where Greville also indulged his passion for collecting minerals, plants, and works of art. Emma was his mistress for four years until, anxious to find a wealthy bride (a search which ultimately ended in failure), he sent her in 1786 to stay with his widowed uncle, then ambassador to Naples. At this time Greville was managing his uncle's Welsh estate in his absence, laying the foundation for Milford Haven's future development as a port.
