She is worried as recent post deliveries have been scattered;
Mr. Banks continues to lie very ill, in his delirium he blames mainly
Mr. Grenville, but also the Bishop [of Derry]; she still nurses her daughter and has grown thin with the strain,
Mr. Durno helps by taking her place from time to time; she wonders whether Humphry could arrange it for
Mr. Lock to see [Grenville's] basso relievo, as he is a friend and great dilettanti.
She begs he give the news of Mr. Banks's illness to his sister before the press report spurious details; he should also tell Mrs Stevens that she received her letter; she expects
Miss Hadfield daily, her
mother leaves in the Spring; Mr. [Bouby?] has changed his religion to marry a daughter of the Justice;
Piranesi is dead and has left great riches; she provides her reasons for moving accomodation, which involve her daughter's charms.
