From: 1811 To: 1811

Neighbours the Broomes are deeply interested in a book by Miss Anne Plumptre called 'Narrative of a Three Years Residence in France'. Asks Lady Lucas' opinion of the work. It was loaned to them by [John] Plumptre the Dean of Gloucester, who this year is a steward of the Glouscestershire Music Meeting. He and the other stewards have pledged for £2,000 to the performers. John Plumptre was married to [his cousin, Diana] the eldest sister of Anne, the writer of the book. Lady Somers and Miss Agneta Carew are coming to stay. Grandson George Waddington and his companion Thomas Beauchamp enlivened the house for over a week. Mrs Thomas Waddington [Anne] is recovering, though Dr Waddington said in one of his letters that the mortification had made such ravages as would take a good deal of time to repair. The writer can see no chanes of them going to Horkesley this autumn. Writer thinks of going to Malvern on the 29th September, unless Lady Lucas plans to visit. Hears Lady Hardwicke is busy purchasing wedding clothes for her niece Elizabeth Lindsay, who is to be married to an Irish gentleman with a fortune of £20,000 per annum, named Domville. [Elizabeth Frances Lindsay married Compton Pocklington Domvile].
