Letter from Charlotte Louisa Caldwell, London, to Baroness Marie Blaze de Bury, 1854 April 24 : autograph manuscript signed.

Apologizing for not having written sooner, remarking that she knew Madame de Bury to be "oppressed by correspondence" and remarking that "the dear departed" (a probable reference to Anne Dunbar, née Caldwell, who died in Paris in 1853) who "took so much off your hands" was no longer there to help her; writing about "dear Henry's" (i.e. her brother, Henry Caldwell) visit to Paris and his pleasant impression of Rose, Henri, and their daughter Yetta; mentioning "the Baby" (the de Bury's infant daughter Fernande), the loss of Mrs. Dunbar, her current disinclination to visit Paris, a recent visit with "Miss Caldwell" at Cheltenham, Archibald Hamilton's lawsuit with a defaulting tenant, and her plans to obtain a copy of Madame de Bury's book "The Princess Palatine" (London : R. Bentley, 1853) and persuade her nieghbors to include it among their "club books"; stating that she is reading a life of William Penn, and that her father (Charles Andrew Caldwell) will write soon.
