Recipient: Grattan, Thomas Colley
Letters: 5

Location: BC Misc. letters 2
Note: Van de Weyer was an eminent Belgian diplomat and man of letters. Appointed Ambassador to London in 1831, he was influential in many of the European political questions of his day. He left writings and worked for the encouragement and support of other writers. He built up a rich library in his residence at New Lodge, Windsor, where he was buried after his death in London. Grattan, an Irish-born author (novelist, poet, historian, travel writer, dramatist and translator), moved in the most eminent social and literary circles of his day. He is known to have returned to Belgium in 1828 after a long absence, this return being mentioned in letter No. 1. Letter No. 4, written to Sir Robert Adair, is nevertheless obviously meant for Grattan's perusal and is a covering note for letters to be passed on to him. Letter No. 5, perhaps also to Sir Robert Adair, is also a covering note accompanying letters for Grattan. Sir Robert Adair (1763-1855) was a politician entrusted with various foreign missions.
Letters 2 and 3 concern the publication of material which is evidently of interest to both sender and recipient.
