Congratulations [on 3rd son's birth) . "I likewise had intended, I confess, this should have been a little girl, however I dare say the young man will soon find means to ingratiate himself; and his sister will be still more valuable when she does arrive." "Knew your ladyship must wish to attend the beginning of her confinement and then go with my Lord to Bath." Nurse Lame/Lamb?, I really think will keep the nursery and its attendants clean and in regular order, but I agree with you in thinking her rather a "muz", and afraid Lady Grantham will find that she knows nothing at all of education when once she has taught children to walk, which she does remarkably well. Son Joseph in Petersburg well. Leaving for Ely. Proposal to rebuild Cambridge gaol, £25,000.
