Uncle wishes him well. She raises the tragic death of
Captain Pierce.
Cipriani has also died.
Lord Lansdowne has written an "elegiac epistle" to
Bartolozzi. She and her Uncle recently went to
Mr. Baker's where
Mr. & Mrs. West and
Mr. & Mrs. Poggi were guests.
Mr. Webber has promised her his diploma, so it can join her collection of Bartolozzis.
Next week the Revd. Mr. Wheler and widowed Mrs. Wheler will join them. Mrs Wheler has been very kind.
