Summary
Thanking her for her last letter (concerning the death of Easthope's mother, Elizabeth Austen Cooke) which "gives utterance to what those who have been blessed by seeing the beautiful, honoured, & lovely old age of a cherished parent must feel when the great severance comes"; saying that she is glad that Madame Blaze de Bury is "satisfied with D's letter" (a reference to a letter Easthope had received from Disraeli and previously forwarded Blaze de Bury) and remarking that "there was much good nature in it"; offering to send her anything she might want from England.
