Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady Lucas. Thanks Lady Lucas for account of Mrs Porteus 'it is a satisfaction to learn that she did not remain long in a suffering state.'

10 Apr 1815

From: 1815 To: 1815

Mrs [Agneta] Yorke is staying with the writer. She came with letters and papers from a certain Lady Isabella King, requesting subscriptions. Agneta Yorke's deafness has increased since the writer last saw her, and her nerves have been indifferent in consequence, both of public and private events. She is very concerned about her son Charles, who remains very ill with gout in both feet and rheumatism with a fever. Mention of Agneta's views on the situation in France. Anecdote about the finding of the Will of Mr Pensome. Enclosed: Printed paper titled 'Plan for improving the situation of ladies if respectable character and small fortune.' With hand written additions, including list of patrons and associated ladies.
