Fait partie de Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton

The good news [of the birth of Robert O. A. Milnes] 'amazed' them, and 'made Mary Thornhill & others redden with joy': Annabel had given the impression that the birth would be later. The other Milnes children and their cousin Georgy's reactions.

Postscript: Jane still at the Melvilles at Roehampton, perhaps she will get to see the baby. Sure Annabel will 'rise in the Admiral's [perhaps Samuel Thornton?] estimation (he is here) not from giving birth to an heir, but for her extreme punctuality - which with him is the highest of virtues.

Has been asking her father's leave to send Annabel 'the little broach of Rickey given me years ago', so that she can see whether 'little Robin' resembles the picture of his father as a child; also sends a ring which was her mother's but which she has never worn 'as a little remembrance for you to keep of this happy Time'.

Gunnersbury [headed notepaper]. - They are very happy to hear of the birth of Milnes' 'son & heir'; only sorry that they will not be able to congratulate Milnes in person on Saturday. [Her husband] Lionel and son had an idea of sending 'a congratulatory round robin but as second thoughts are best they kindly allow me to express the sentiments of the whole family'

Tiv[erton]. - Very surprised to get Mrs Blackburne's letter [about the birth of Robert O. A. Milnes] as she had 'no idea' that the due date was so near. A comfort to think Mrs Blackburne is with her sister 'keeping all excitement or mischief away from her'. Has chosen a patron saint for the baby: Aelred of Rievaulx, whose saint's day is 12th Jan.: 'What a pretty name it would be to add to his others'. Good that he is a Yorkshire saint too.

11 Chichester Terrace, Brighton. - Cannot resist sending Mrs Blackburne a note, as well as one to Mr Milnes 'for my old Crewe feelings do most naturally seek for a vent'; is very glad of Anabel's safety, '& one cannot help glancing at the strong presumption that to Crewe is born an heir in the line we love! May the Boy live & prosper'.

Tiverton. - Thanks him for 'his' letter with the good news about his mother. Will 'keep (or leave behind me) this letter, in the hope that you may be amused some day by reading it'.

Fryston. - Addresses her brother as 'Dearest Ricky'. Only heard the news this afternoon when she came to Fryston; their father was waiting in the hall to tell her. Aunt Louisa says he 'shed tears of joy' when he heard the news. When the baby's health was drunk 'they all wish'd he might be as good a man & as much respected all over Yorkshire as his Grandfather is... & "his father is a worthy gentleman" they added'. Anxious to hear how Annabel is; they were disappointed not to have a line saying she was doing well.
