Letter from Maria Fitzherbert, Brighton, to Mary Georgiana Dawson-Damer, 1837 : autograph manuscript signed with initials.

Thanking her for her concern about her health; saying "I am certainly much better but still am a bit of a cripple tho' I am now able to walk about my room but the cold winds & bad weather annoys me & I shall not think of moving till we get better weather & that I am able to enjoy your Society as it is I am good for nothing but I shall improve daily - I was not able to see Munster till yesterday - he is very kind & attentive to me - he is excellent in many things & I wish from the bottom of my heart he was happier both in respect to his family & his Home...I cannot tell you how much I miss yr dear children for tho' I c'd not have seen much of them I felt they were near me & that I might occasionally have seen their dear little happy faces - I long to embrace you all again - I am glad you find Tilney St. tolerably comfortable - Viney is there now & if she can do any thing for you pray employ her - she will be highly gratified by yr. doing so - Kiss the dear chicks for me & tell Minny I am very much obliged to her for her letter & will write to her very soon. I have nothing to tell you of news from this place therefore I will release you from this stupid Scrawl."
