Autograph letter : [Brussels], to James Burney, 1815 March 27.

Asking James to give an enclosed receipt (no longer with the letter) to his son Martin, so that it can be paid out immediately and the money sent by her English bankers "Messrs Hoare" to a banker in Brussels; asking Martin whether a similiar receipt will work for receiving payments due on the publication of the second edition of her novel The Wanderer; telling James that she has had no news of Monsieur d'Arblay: "I know not what is become of my best & dearest half! -- eternally varying accounts kill & revive me in turn [...] He left me for the Champ de Mars -- a last Review! -- & he has followed, or preceded, the unhappy King -- or -- horrible doubt -- he is a prisoner -- In the latter case, I shall re-enter the fatal Country I have just fled, the instant I receive a power to draw here for Money. I have left & lost every thing I possessed! -- Goods -- Cloathes -- Trinkets -- Books -- billets -- MSS!"; mentioning that she has not had many letters from family members and sending her love to all; describing the situation in France during the Hundred Days: "All the English have run away from Paris -- & such is their terror of the Conqueror that they are now flying hence! Yet I trust & believe that We are safe here. A large body of English troops passed before my window yesterday, for the Frontieres commanded by Gen. [Henry] Clinton. They huzza'd the whole way, & the Inhabitants huzza'd them from the windows"; adding that she is staying with Madame du Maurville and giving him the address.
