Summary
Expressing her frustration at the uncertainty of Minney's plans; saying "I am not surpris'd at the Contents as I have never had a letter from you for the last two months that you did not regularly change your plans - I therefore have written to the [illegible] to come & take yr apartment that I have so long kept for you & have given up the lodgings I had intended for them - I shall be very glad to see you all whenever it suits you but I shall not now expect you till I see you;" asking her to tell George that the wine arrived and she will settle with him when she sees him; adding "I am still suffering with my eyes therefore forgive this horrid scrawl & pray tell little Minny I am much obliged to her for her letter. When I can write with less inconvenience to myself I will answer it."
