Letter from Elizabeth Yorke to ‘Lady Bell’, sent from Hamels.

Dec 1787

From: 1787 To: 1787

It was a disappointment not to see Mrs Carew, the effect and the cause being both to be regretted. Death of Soame Jenyns [writer, died 18 Dec 1787]. It will be a melancholy life for Mrs Jenyns without him. My Mother [Anne Lindsay] set out early this morning – it is a long journey at this season, but she minds it wonderfully little.
