Summary
Expressing anxiety about Charlotte's father's health; hoping sincerely that his condition improves soon and asking Charlotte to pass along their care and love while they grieve his indisposition; remarking that she has heard that Charlotte will be within six or seven miles of them and cannot help but earnestly wish that they could find a way to see one another; asking her if it would be possible for her to come with her sisters on a morning's drive, though she cannot offer beds to them all due to their house's small size; feeling cautious about inconveniencing anyone and cannot bear to think of dividing her party; feeling anxious and impatient to see Charlotte and all of her family now that she is "in much better health than I have been, though not quite well"; sympathizing with all of Charlotte's anxieties deeply. Postscript adds that she hopes Charlotte will let her know if there is anything that she can do for her.
