Letter from Jacqueline Charlotte, Comtesse de Hompesch, to Lady de Grey, Putney Heath. Comments about the weather making the writer listless.

Postmark 13 Jun 1826

From: 1826 To: 1826

Mrs J Cocks [Caroline] is worried having received a letter from Brighton where her son is at school stating that some of the children have scarletina. This has obliged her to send immediately for her boy, though he calls it chicken pox. Her boy is to be quarantined in a lodging at Richmond. 'I hear the Morels and St.Germans now go on pretty well but the first settling together began by a most violent mutual attack which cannot be written, but when we meet I will tell you all I know...' Death of Countess Bentinck [Mary Catherine Frederica].
