Lady Anson

In my discussions i refer to a link to a website which also has this to say in respect of a letter sent by Lady Anson: 

"St Germain returned to England in 1760 after his brief stay in Paris. Lady Anson wrote a letter to Thomas Anson dated May 2nd 1760 revealing to him the secret conversation she had with the Count: "I am whispered, as a secret, that he tells some odd things, & says more: He talks of his own general Benevolence, meaning no harm to any country; wishing well to France; would have assisted the French King if he would have followed his advice & relieved his subjects from the weight of Taxes; says he has it in his power to give the King of France more than his Majesty can give him; with other such hints that seem to mean the Great Secret…..”

The Count is claiming to be richer than the King of France? And what was this Great Secret that he was hinting to Lady Anson?"

It is strangely reminiscent of the letter which speaks of Poussin being in possession of a secret which could make him more rich and powerful than the king of France from the Fouquet brothers! The reference is talking about Count st Germain ....The letter can be found in the following reference: Staffordshire Record Office. Anson Papers. D615/P (S)/ 1/2/462)
