returned to me again, and that if I had got the right one,
miracles would have been done by it. I went to the House of
Lords, the Queen was then in, I waited till she came out, and
had most of the day to wait, and it rained very hard; she came
out about four o’clock in the afternoon, and went to her
residence, the house of Lady Anne Hamilton, and on each side
of the steps leading into Lady Anne Hamilton’s house were
Bow-street officers, and the people pressed hard, and the
officers struck at them with their staves: the Queen put her head
out of the window of her carriage, and reproved the officers
several times, then they let the people do as they would, and
they made way for her. When she got up the steps she turned

her a letter, and a copy of each of the books of visions, and she
turned as pale as the whited wall, and trembled like an aspen
leaf. She was clothed in black. Then I came away, and no one
spoke to me, but two men wearing mustachios attempted to
seize me as I came out, but missed me. The words in the letter
were, “If she would obey the words of the Lord, the Lord would
deliver her.” This was on the 30 th day of August, 1820.
Three halfpence was then all the money I had to take me
home; I then went to the river and inquired for a vessel going to
Hull, and found one; the Captain’s name was William Dunhill,
