Letter from Agneta Yorke to Amabel, Lady Lucas, sent from Bath.

1802

From: 1802 To: 1802

Reference to Thalaba [Thalaba the Destroyer is an 1801 epic poem composed by Robert Southey]. Mention of Lord Grantham, due back from his travels. Work that Charles has done at Tyttenhanger. Lady Hardwick's tour; whether [Viscount] Royston has returned to Cambridge. Hears Mrs Carew is much better and able to join in the gay parties to which her daughters have had the pleasure of going. 'It is the happiest day of a young girl's life......that day when they are permitted to go to a provincial ball and dance for the first time with a grown gentleman, and without the attendance of a governess and a dancing master' Mention of the deaths of Mr Cambridge and Mrs M Jeffereys. Hopes to see Mrs Eliot next month.
