Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Is 'thankful in every way' to have the telegram [with the news of the safe arrival of Julian Trevelyan]; not least for Caroline's relief. Charles was born while [Hugh?] Childers was at dinner at Ennismore Gardens: 'like a Royal Prince with a Cabinet Minister in attendance'; supposes Charles himself played Childers' part this time; hopes this will be a good omen. Is still a little unwell three weeks on, but he is much better and can work a little. Adds a postscript saying how pleased he was about [Robert's election to] the Athenaeum; necessary to be a 'very old hand there' to realise what a 'remarkable demonstration' it was; very much wants to see Robert's card.

16 Ashburton Rd, Fulham. - Hopes Houghton's influence will have secured her aid from Lady Galway's charity; all six of her children at home; reinstated youngest son at school with Mr [Hugh?] Childers' assistance; must soon enter hospital with her invalid daughter.

221: With signature of Marie Studholmina Laetitia Rattazzi.
222: Letter from Childers to Annabella Milnes.

Embossed notepaper: 7 Cavendish Place, W. - Mr Lloyd opened her letter in error; unable to accept invitation; wrote to Mr Childers about appointing her brother-in-law Henry S. Collins Paymaster to the Monarch, can Houghton help?

Bedwell Park, Hatfield, Herts. (on headed notepaper of the Athenaeum Club). - Condolences on the death of Lady Houghton.
