Letter from Maria Fitzherbert, Brighton, to Mary Georgiana Dawson-Damer, 1830 June : autograph manuscript signed with initials.

Suggesting a remedy for Minney's toothache; saying "...if you should be again tormented to try a drug that you may get at [illegible] call'd Spirituous Extract of the Pelitory of Spain - one drop put upon a bit of cotton & apply'd to the tooth gives immediate relief - it will do not harm whatever to your other teeth. I have spoken to Barwell about it - numbers have been cur'd by it as it kills the nerve which is what gives all the pain - pray try it for I have [illegible] it will not do you any harm;" saying how pleased she is Minney likes her house and that she hopes to see it soon; discussing Daykin and his wife Frances; saying "Viney goes to Tilney Street on Tuesday to get my house ready that I may walk into it without any trouble - I hope by that time that Frances will walk out of it - Daykin is always more comfortable when she is away & is much more attentive & in better Spirits & we go on very well together & I am (now she is gone) no longer Silent with him - it was really so disagreeable before that I made up my mind to hold my tongue & let them go on their own way & not be subject as I have been the whole Winter to their caprice;" asking her to tell her the price she pays for poultry in London "...that I may judge if it is worth while to have any sent up as I think the poultry here much better than in Town."
