Wednesday night [7 Jan. 1852]
Part of Manuscripts in Printed Books
Junior U[nited] S[ervices] Club - London. - There is still 'reasonable ground of hope' [that his brother Eliot Warburton survived the sinking of of the Amazon in the Bay of Biscay on 4 Jan. 1852]; knows his brother 'was completely dressed on the deck, calm and collected', having heard from Mr [Frederick] Glennie, a passenger already rescued who knew him well. His brother's wife and their sister are here at 23 Savile Row, and 'full of hope, the suspence [sic], however, is little less dreadful than the last certainty'. Knows Milnes will sympathize with them in 'the time of bitter trial'.
