Letter from Agneta Yorke to Jemima Yorke. Sent from Lymington. Has recovered from indisposition. Caroline's bathing has not improved her relaxed eyelid. Has bathed herself once but caught cold. Place very full; wishes she had acquaintances to enliven the evenings which grow long in a dark brown parlour without the assistance of an adjoining book room or neighbouring circulating library; in daytime walks and drives. Views. His lordship expected with Lady Bute. Once a week boats come with red mullets, soles, gurnets, brill, plaice, skate and whitings. Salmon in river. Turbot scarce. News of Joseph - he goes to the masthead 50 times a day, jacket in rags, reads Bible on Sunday. Letter from Charles from Dublin. Hopes all at Wrest well, and Newby news good.
