Letter from Maria Tunno, Runnymede, to Charlotte Sarah Raikes, 1821 November 4 : autograph manuscript signed.

Thanking Charlotte for the grapes that she sent to her and her mother, even though it is Sunday; passing along her mother's reassurance that the grapes are better than any she has seen in France; stating that if she is not as eloquent as her mother would be, it is because she has "grown too stupid" after Rosa's death; scolding her for not letting her know if her cough is better and what Dr. Luke said; describing the terrible weather and its effects on her, and she hopes to escape becoming a "living Barometer"; worrying about how the cold is affecting Charlotte and hoping that Caroline will inform her about how everyone is doing; describing a leter from Mrs. Tiler urging them to take a look at Mr. Bruce's place on Taplow Hill and consider buying it, and how they will have to move from the fireside to look at it in person; anxiously wishing to find a house; asking after Anna and hoping they will all meet in the future "with less suffering to all parties"; describing the wish to live without attachment, and her efforts toward fortitude and resignation; noting that she has seen in the papers that Lady Ousley has been unfortunate, but she is grateful that Charlotte "had a narrow escape"; noting that Harriet and all in their circle are quite well and that they are continuing to ride horses; urging Charlotte to write to her soon; remarking that some of their neighbors have called but have not been permitted entry; observing that Edward seems to regret leaving the neighborhood especially after going to some shooting parties with them.
