Evidence: | 'I have become acquainted with a Mr Cumberland, who must be agreeable, for he has an hereditary right to it. I have been reading his father's life. It explains the story of a paper in the Observer, written by him, that always interested me much, of his going to see a friend's place after his death, with the circumstance of his decease. It was the late Lord Sackville'. |

Letter is undated and chronology is unclear but 'Roderick', mentioned in the same letter, was published in 1818. The text named seems likely to be that under discussion - Richard Cumberland died in 1811. |
