3 Jun 1811

From: 1811 To: 1811

Pleased Lady Lucas has left london, it is a 'most sad place when any general melancholy subject is talked of.' Writer would not have liked to have been congratulating the two families mentioned by Lady Lucas as taking joy upon the approaching wedding, though the writer is really glad of it - considers 'he will be the happier man and deserves all the pains that I think she will will take to make him comfortable.' [No indication of the parties to the marriage]. Mention of the death of Mrs [Margaret] Nash; it is said she died of a broken heart in consequence of her old husband's neglect of her in his Will. Hail storm the previous week broke many windows in Worcester. Son Joseph intends taking his family to Wothing for sea bathing for about 6 weeks. It is reported that Lord Somers means to build at Castle Ditch and sell his London house.
