Part of Papers of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton
Milan. - Pleased to hear Milnes' news and to meet Captain Sheney [sic: Cheney?] who brought the letter. Severe fever at end of April; describes symptoms. Glad about Milnes family's stay in Venice; the new Consul-General Colonel Sorrelle is a fine man. Lord George is back from visiting his niece Lady James Stuart and will soon join Colonel Hughes. News of Sir Henry Mildmay and family, and of the Hare brothers: Reginald Hare is a 'good for nothing wretch'; Augustus died of a spitting of blood at Rome. Captain Buller has squandered his own fortune and that of Lady Agnes [Percy]. Duchess of [C...zarro/]; Colonel and Mrs Butler.
