Summary
Concerning Lady Caroline's Will and George's inheritance; referring to George saying "The first thing that occupies him in the increase of his fortune he tells me is immediately to have a full length Picture of you done by Lawrence. I really could not help laughing - the Honey Moon I perceive is not yet over & I pray to god it never may be - indeed I dont think there is any chance of its being otherwise. I am very glad to find you are to change your name - Damer is better at least it is not so common as Dawson...I long to have you both here, it seems so odd to me to be quite alone, the poor little Baby is the only thing I am interested about & she is so well & so blooming I long to shew her to you."
