Description | Referring to the parcel accompanying this letter and explaining that her 'Mater' had mentioned to him yesterday of how Lady Maria had complained of suffering from chilblains. He therefore instantly sent word to Barrett at Brighton for some of his lotion which George now sends on in the hope that it will relieve her suffering. That he has missed her very much and making plans to see her on Monday, a prospect which delights him: 'you may with certainty rely upon the arrvial of a Knight Errant who will suddenly arrive, seize upon you, & as suddenly convey you , to the Old Castle at Windsor...you will be receiv'd with open arms, by its Old Possessor.' Signed with initials and dated Thursday night. With postscript (in French) Mme Louise and her children give their regards. And further postscript (in English) on the application of the lotion |
