Details the repairs and alterations that have been made to the house with the savings from the High Court. This includes fitting rooms and building dog kennels. She has not discovered the details of her cousin's case, as the attending doctor, Dr Kilvington, is not at Ripon. Her friends told her, "the Paralitick seizure began on an outward application of cold Vinegar after the miscarriage". Dr Denham and Mr Bell argue that this could not induce a palsy. [Relates to the death of Margaret Waddington, nee Yorke, daughter of James Yorke, Bishop of Ely.] Mentions the Dean has gone to see his eldest daughter at Edinburgh.
