Summary
Thanking him for his letter and giving him an account of her "poor Lord;" telling him that he has "received some degree of amendment since our return. Here, as in some material circumstances he has certainly been better, yet his state, notwithstanding, at present seems such, that I cannot help entertaining the most anxious fears. My Solicitude for him may perhaps make me adopt them too strongly, but such great weakness as he labors with at his Age, must be alarming. If you go to Bath I hope you will find all possible benefit from the Waters."
