Summary
Discussing their search for a house in London; saying that her letter "...made me feel comfortable about the House as I was fearful that you & the Major might be disappointed but I am sure when you reflect & take every thing into consideration you will not repent giving it up - I hope Lord Fredericks House may suit you I am very much interested about it as it is so near Tilney Street - I wish you had been able to send me a more satisfactory account of yourself I cannot bear your being tormented with so many black doses but I hope in a day or two you will get the better of your troubles;" complaining of her rheumatism, saying the treatments have not helped so she will return to London for a few days and then go to Bath but she would like to stop and see her on her way back to London and before she leaves for Bath; adding, in a postscript, "I am sure you will be glad to hear I continue to have good accounts of the poor Duke."
