Summary
Noting that he has been unwell but hopes to come to see her "on Tuesday morning to breakfast"; reporting that Hannah's "spirits are improving" but their father is "certainly very unwell"; saying that their father "does not seem to feel [his illness] very acutely. This is one of the compensations for the many miseries attending the decay of nature."
