13.9.1808 W(estminster) Abbey, w. F(anny), C(harles) & M(ary). rosa (? in Godwin's Greek). Write to Wooburn Deincourt
Wooburn Deincourt the name of a manor by Beaconsfield, Bucks. The owner in 1808 was James Du Pré, 1778-1870, son of a "nabob" (a person who made a fortune in India) and M P for Chichester, who supported Pitt but attended the House very little, perhaps due to illness. Godwin was writing to lots of rich people to drum up subscriptions, but usually to those of Whig sympathies. Equally Godwin might have had some historical interest in this manor. I don't know Greek but the rosa is apparently not a Greek word, but perhaps latin for rose in Greek letters
