Eugenia Stanhope

This illegitimate Irish woman who marries his son does not get a place in Lord Chesterfield's will, and she was the one who pushed for the publication [laughs] of these letters, and it's sometimes seen as revenge, and she made a lot of money on it.

So this was really Eugenia Stanhope's initiative to get these letters out there.

And something that was really interesting is that this is sort of around the birth of libraries.

There were, like, early library societies, and these letters were widely distributed.
