Curator's comments: The visiting cards still kept in original folder. Visiting cards are associated with the people holding the title engraved on the card at time of handwritten date, unless otherwise stated. C,1.37: Charlotte Bertie unidentified. C,1.42: 'Miss Sackville' is possibly the eldest, daughter Elizabeth. C,1.46: Countess of Middlesex undientified. C,1.53-55: Elizabeth Seymour, the woman associated with these cards, died in 1776 but as her husband did not die until 1786, it can only be assumed the cards are from before the date transcribed.
