| Date | 16 Oct [1824] |
| Description | Written Tuesday morning 16 Oct [no year given]. Would have written to Henrietta yesterday, but Dr. Richardson distracted her. Eleanor is much better. Thinks that Greenchwich air is the cure. Dr. Thomson congratulated Eleanor on improved looks; he wants to meet Mr. Kay at Tonbridge Wells. Brother James intends to go and see Henrietta soon. Mr. T. Booth has grown tall . According to Dr Richardson he has not seen anything so grown as "Little Puss". Wants an account of Miss Burrow's eye, hurt in accident, but hopefully not seriously so. Enclosed a letter from Hull respecting Mrs. Steele, who in a desolate condition and wandering state of mind and therefore likely to to trouble Franklin and herself. |
