Letter from Mary Yorke to Lady de Grey, sent from Great Malvern. Writer is staying at Great Malvern with granddaughter Mary Anne Yorke.

8 Sep 1819

From: 1819 To: 1819

Miss Carew left Forthampton last week for her sister, Mrs Thomas Somers Cocks [Agneta] who has a small house near London. Reference to Agneta Yorke, who has had 'St Anthony's Fire' on the tendons of her leg. Writer learns from Miss Gore that Agneta is much altered since last year; thinks Agneta has strove too much to conceal her affliction. Thanks Lady de Grey for the letter on the subject of the Forthampton preferrment. By latest accounts, Mr Broome's death does not seem to be an event likely to take place so soon as Mr Gomery imagined. His present physicians have suddenly altered their own plan and give him bracing medicine. Mention of a lover of Miss Broome's named in a letter - the writer hears he is an amiable character with some fortune and a good deal of business in the law line at Bewdley. Writer and granddaughter are going to Eastnor Castle for a few days on Saturday next. Miss Cocks is in a delicate state, and Lord Somers has been thrown out of a gig and hurt his knee so much that he is obliged to use crutches. Writer had a note from Jacqueline de Hompesch who was surprised by receiving a large piece of wedding cake with the compliments of the Countess of St. Germans [Harriet, nee Pole-Carew].
