Letter from Mary Georgiana Seymour, England, to Maria Fitzherbert, 183? November 23 : autograph manuscript signed.

Thanking her for remembering her birthday and saying how much she wished they were together; saying "...I had so great a wish of seeing you on the 23rd which I have not done for three anniversaries that I had always determined to follow you to Brighton had you gone there before us to spend my old Birthday with you & that was the cause of my saying to night I particularly wished to dine in Tilney St tomorrow - I trust that I shall have the good luck of finding you better than you have been for the last weeks...I must now my dear Mama say a little word on a subject I c'd not touch upon again tonight - the Paris one & assure you from the bottom of my heart that though we'd both prefer a trip there to any other six weeks excursion we could make, we should neither of us enjoy it under actual circumstances those of y'r being so far from well for though your indisposition is hardly of a nature to be called [illegible], yet you are so nervous & languid that I cannot help flattering myself that you might miss my society, is not very conceited? & I am too much flattered at the notion [illegible] to be perfectly satisfied at not thinking more of Paris for this year & I will never say any thing against a long Visit with you as I know you afford us more than a mothers welcome."
