Letter from Emily Frances Brougham, London, to Baroness Marie Blaze de Bury, 1850s? : autograph manuscript fragment.

Asking after Madame Blaze de Bury and her family ("Are you gone or going to Hanover - or to Washington? are you in the family way, or is my god daughter out yet? and how is Mrs. Dunbar?"), mentioning that was concerned to hear that Mrs. Dunbar had been ill; asking if she plans of visiting Brougham, expressing her own dislike for the place, and remarking that she might plead her health and refure to go if Madam Blaze de Bury is not there; writing that her health has been poor since the birth of her daughter ("Really I have not been well for an hour since her birth. To be sure I am 4 months gone with influenza - & that & nursing day & night (& my beast objects to aught but Heaven proposed food) don't tend to re-establish one's health.") but that the child is "flourishing", adding that she is "ugly enough withal - & singularly like Lord Nugent, in 2 features - viz. nose and [blank] My pen refuses to fill the blank."; relating news of mutual acquaintances.
