Excerpt from Letters to Henry Fox Lord Holland: With a Few Addressed to His Brother Stephen, Earl of Ilchester The two brothers were sons of Sir Stephen F ox, by his second marriage with Miss Christian Hope. Stephen was born in 1704, Henry a year later. The numerous offspring of an earlier marriage failed to survive their father. Sir Stephen, though the offspring of humble parentage, grew to be the trusted friend and adherent of Charles II.
