Letter from Maria Tunno, Hastings, to Charlotte Susannah Raikes, 1819 June 10 : autograph manuscript signed.

Expressing concern about Mr. Raikes, who has been involved in a serious accident that produced a fit of the gout; wondering who was at fault for the accident; informing Charlotte Susannah that she is in Hastings and in low spirits following the passing of her father; describing her walks to see beautiful views; remarking that Caroline has gone to keep Matilda company in Paris, escorted by Edward; Matilda has a villa called the Pavilion that is situated in a Park about a quarter of a mile out of Paris; describing her mother's state of mind as tender and anxious; stating that going with them was out of the question due to her mother's anxiety; feeling grateful to be with her mother and to be able to discuss memories of her father; describing a dreary void in their domestic circle that has existed since her father's passing; informing her that they plan to go to London in about a fortnight, and then they will embark on a tour of the Lakes in Scotland, because "a constant chance of scene will be beneficial to us all"; relaying that they have some friends in town; declining Lady Baring's invite; expressing sadness over the death of Mr. Barclay and remarking that his sons will feel the loss acutely; reassuring Charlotte Susannah that the current perplexities and anxieties will pass. Postscript at bottom of page reads: "Rosa is quite grateful for dear Anna's kind wishes which are quite mutual."
