Notes:

1 Probably Mlle Suzanne Moula, a Swiss appointed as French teacher in 1779. (Less likely: her sister Marianne, or the governess who taught needlework, Mlle Charlotte-Salomé de Montmollin.) Also mentioned by Martha Carolina Goldsworthy in HAM/1/14/36 and other letters.

2 ‘A piece of ornamental work round the edge of a garment, cap, etc.’ (OED s.v. border n. 5b).

3 Miss Nevin, Dresser to the Princesses (Burney, Journals II.94). See also HAM/1/1/3/7, HAM/1/7/2/10, HAM/1/14/105.

4 Also spelt Chi-Chi or Chi Chi, apparently the pet-name of Mrs Louisa Cheveley, nurse to Princess Amelia (Stuart 1939, citing Burney). See HAM/1/7/2.
