Summary
Reporting on her health and expressing her love for him; saying she hopes he has heard she is following all her doctor's orders "...and if the parliament does not meet till after Xmas I think I will be better. I should have thanked you sooner for your former letter but that I know no words can so well express the sentiments of my heart as my actions always shall and demonstrate how dear I hold you : and how sensible I am that in such a child I enjoy all that a parent can desire or even wish : pray god in heaven bless you and requite you all you deserve."
