Tommy better reconciled to Mrs Lamb, greatly owing to her taking him so much out of doors; has not that vivacity and jollity of manner that takes a child directly which Welstead had. "If anybody can tell you of a perfect nurse this summer I should be glad to know." The past 2 years, "total disuse of exercise" makes her not able to go far from house. Hopes Papa will be better. Encloses route for sister. "Valiant" in seeing Mrs Siddons again. Politics (Fox, Burke, Rayneval). Foreigners at Epsom races, "both French and English got completely drunk... the Duke of Bedford was one of the heroes of these exploits, which one cannot help feeling sorry for."
