Letter from Maria Fitzherbert, London, to Mary Georgiana Dawson-Damer, 1833 : autograph manuscript signed with initials.

Thanking her for her letters and discussing her hopes to get to Aix la Chappelle for her rheumatism; saying "My inclinations are strongly to go abroad but as I have several difficulties that makes me undecided - I envy yr. Health & youth in being able to scamper about as you do - Baby is quite well - he is cutting another tooth but no appearance of any of the double ones - Stone attends constantly but he is certainly very much against Baby's going abroad - I am glad you have decided to take the girls with you - I am sure you would not have felt comfortable without them - Munster told me yesterday that Lady Munster insisted upon going to Paris for six weeks - They are to take their whole family with them which he says will be an enormous expence & that when she gets there she will do the same she does here - lay in bed all day - I get quite provoked at him for being such a fool as to attend to all her Caprices - he means to defer it as long as he can;" adding "all I can say at present is respecting my joining you on the Continent is to have the Comfort of being with you & if I have Courage & resolve [illegible] to pass the Winter some where & not at Brighton - but more of this in my next as I dont suppose you will be at Aix la Chappelle till the middle of next month."
