Angelica writes about a ball that she hosted the night before. She wrote that it was very fashionable and popular and that the Prince of Wales stayed from one o'clock to five in the morning, something he had not done at any other ball this season. She describes her decorations and mentions that she has gotten many invitations, including one from Mrs. Fitzherbert at the Prince's request. She writes after getting back that the Prince talked to her for a half hour. She continues by mentioning her desire that her father be made ambassador so that they could live together or in adjoining houses. The letter is incomplete and ends in the middle of a sentence.
