Letter from Catherine Bathurst to Amabel Hume Campbell, Lady de Grey. Sent from Heath Cottage, Tunbridge Wells. Susan [sister Lady Susannah Bathurst] came to us on Wednesday, and on Friday we moved from our disagreeable lodging into one much pleasanter on the London Road.

28 Sep 1830

From: 1830 To: 1830

Writer hopes her sisters will gain strength while in Tunbridge Wells. Mention of Lord Goderich going to Lincolnshire and the hope that Lady Goderich and ‘the little boy’ are recovered. Death of Seymour’s little girl; ‘for three weeks everything went on very prosperously when at the end of that time the poor little thing was taken with convulsions and died in a few hours time. The packet left Malta a week after the event, and Mrs & Mrs Bathurst determined to take a trip to Italy and visit Rome and Naples.’ Cannot make out from the newspapers whether the Kings troops have entered Brussels or not. The writer is afraid the disturbances there are very serious.
