Letter from Maria Tunno, London, to Charlotte Susannah Raikes, 1820 June 10 : autograph manuscript signed.

Planning to visit Charlotte Susannah on Tuesday next; Augusta will join and pass the day with Caroline, and they plan to take an early breakfast and set off immediately after for Theobald's, as they must return in the evening; her mother appreciates the invitation but must decline; noting that their own carriage will be at their disposal and perform their journey with ease; telling Charlotte Susannah that she need not write again unless something comes up that interferes with the current plan; hoping, based on recent letters, that Charlotte is recovering, and that the summer sun is helpful; affirming that the cause of anxiety is serious and hoping that their heavenly Father will spare Charlotte Susannah's family further suffering; remarking on a visit from Lady Wigham, who is genuinely "sweet and captivating"; Lady Wigham was anxious about her daughter Harriet's health, but she invited them to a ball that she was giving to please Sir Robert; remarking on how they had to decline the invitation, but appreciated her pleasing manner; expressing irritation about how their "most intrusive Queen" continues to embarrass Ministers, and has contributed to the creation of a mob of mischievous boys who have been active in the neighborhood and breaking windows; expressing worry that though the the mob has not yet come to Devonshire Place, they are expected to cause trouble that night; describing how Edward was at the Levee and thought King George IV was looking remarkably well and cheerful; affirming that the "Drawing Room" will take place, but they may have to decline any further waiting; remarking that many of her friends are waiting for the second, so she hopes the first will not be too crowded; the King has had a doll dressed after his own fashion, which strikes her as drawing forth more frivolity than "even his enemies could have suspected him of feeling at this moment". Postscript at bottom of the page states: "Should Augusta's being at Theobald's be at all profitable to excite dearest Charlotte in any way, I conclude that you would not hesitate saying so in one line."
