Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady de Grey, sent from Forthampton Court. Comments about the weather and fog. Guests left this morning and Mary Agnes with her [step] mother crossed the Severn on their way to London. Miss Carew and her brother James returned to Eastnor. Only John Thomas Waddington remains as the writer's companion.

31 Dec 1818

From: 1818 To: 1818

Pleased to hear that 'the grand scheme for doubling Lord Hardwicke's house is given up and that only some more humble apartment is making jaust for their own comfort. Lord and Lady C [Caledon?] are not likely to want a house or return to England very soon. Little Lady Caroline Cocks seems to be going on very well and patiently submits to the confinement on one floor. Lady Somers is expected for a night or two on the 12th, and Mrs Plumer on the 19th for a longer stay. Has good accounts of Mrs [Agneta] Yorke at Bath, and her companion Letty Beauchamp. Separate sheet with list of three books.
