Expressing regret at having missed seeing Charlotte Susannah when she last visited; sharing that she went out of the house while Charlotte Susannah was in the Drawing Room; expressing her affection for Mr. Raikes, who has fallen ill and hoping that his health has improved; noting that although Caroline is capable of enduring pain, but wishing that she and Charlotte Susannah didn't have to worry about Mr. Raikes' health; mentioning that her father has been scolding her for not walking; sending her father's gratitude to Charlotte Susannah; commenting on Mrs. G. Ward, who is physically and emotionally unwell and grieving the death of an "unexpected babe"; positing that "Though the offspring of such parents could scarcely be expected to inherit the blessing of a good constitution and its exit should be therefore less regretted"; setting up Grammar lessons with Mr. Besley for an hour and a half and inquiring as to whether or not four on Monday is desirable; noting his remarks on how people understand grammar "rationally, and not mechanically"; stating that she will attend to "the commission"; noting that her mother has visitors and apologizing for the brevity of the letter.
