Summary
Relating news of Brighton and referring to the King; saying "...I am better here than in Town for a few days longer - the weather is fine & I am tempted to enjoy it besides which the constant history's respecting the K. & people's curiosity to find out what I think & what I do w'd annoy me so much that dull as it is here I am spar'd many Uncomfortable occurrences that would annoy me in Town;" expressing her continuing concern for Daykin; adding "I have nothing to tell you from this place excepting that all the people here will insist upon it the K. is in the act of dying of a dropsey - I trust to his good Constitution he will recover tho' perhaps it may be some time - I cannot think he is in the state of Danger he is by many represented to be."
