Letter from Susan Bathurst, Cheltenham, to Lady de Grey. Lord Goderich has made the sisters very happy by giving leave to General Ponsonby to visit England. Will be happy to see Emily again after an absence of 6 years. [writer’s niece, Lady Emily Charlotte Bathurst was married to Sir Frederick Cavendish Ponsonby].

18 Sep, no year [c.1832]

From: 1832 To: 1832

As a consequence of this news, will be leaving Cheltenham earlier than planned. Emily and her children have been fortunate in escaping the month of August in Malta, where the sirocco has been prevalent and it has been very hot. Mrs [Julia] Bathhurst [wife of Thomas Seymour Bathurst], being very near her confinement, suffered much in the heat, but is now well again in cooler weather.
