Catherine Wilmot : ウィキペディア英語版
Katherine Wilmot

Katherine (or Catherine) Wilmot (c.1773 – 28 March 1824) was an Irish traveller and diarist.
==Life==
Wilmot was born in Drogheda, County Louth, to Edward and Martha Wilmot (née Moore). She was the eldest daughter of six daughters and three sons. Her father was the port surveyor in Drogheda, but has previously served as army captain in the 40th Regiment of Foot. He was transferred to a similar post in County Cork in 1775, where Wilmot was raised. The family settled in Glanmire, near the seat of the Mountcashells in Moore Park. Having struck up a friendship with Lady Mountcashell, she was invited to accompany the party of Lord Mountcashel and his wife on a tour of the continent in 1802. Her letters from the time survive, in France from November 1801 to October 1802, and in Italy until July 1803. The Mount Cashells entertained lavishly, especially during the first nine months in Paris, and through them she met Napoleon Bonaparte, and made friends with Angelica Kauffman. She also met Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, and Robert Emmett fleetingly. In Rome she recounts her meeting with Frederick Augustus Hervey, and her audience with the Pope, Pius VII. Wilmot returned to London from Italy in October 1803, via Germany and Denmark, after England and France resumed hostilities.〔
Wilmot then went to Russia to bring home her sister Martha in August, who was living there as a favourite of Princess Dashkov, and spent two years there.〔 Martha was living at the Princess's estate in Troitskoe, and Wilmot arrived on 4 August 1805, having set out from Cork on 5 June. Wilmot's writings from this time record the Russian aristocracy's opulence and attitudes to the servile classes. The sisters came to know the customs the Russian elite, as well as the festivals and religious rites of the country people. Wilmot left Moscow on 4 July 1807, a combination of passport problems, wars and storms at sea, resulted in delays and in her reaching Yarmouth on 7 September 1807. Returning to Ireland in October 1807. Wilmot moved to France, Moulins, to live in a warmer, drier climate than Ireland. Her health declined when she moved to Paris, with her dying there 28 March 1824. A portrait of Wilmot which was painted in Russia by an unknown artist is known to have been in the possession of Ms Janet Adam, Wilmot's great-great-great-grand-niece, in 1992.〔
