Scope and content

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Was glad to get Elizabeth's letter at Morningside, where she was 'most horridly poorly'; her recovery has been slow, although she was able to travel on Friday without ill effect. Annoying that she and Annie [Philips] could not spend time together, though they 'talked through the open door' on the last two days. Annie is recovering and still looks 'very much pulled down'; Caroline is afraid it will be dull for her at Morningside as she does not feel well enough to have friends to stay; hopes people will visit from London. Greatly interested in the elections; hopes to hear something today. Very good of Robert to work so hard; sure 'that kind of canvassing must be very useful' and 'encouraging to the poor men'; there is 'reason to be ashamed of a good many things in England'. Sorry Madame Grandmont [Bramine Hubrecht] cannot come as early as she hoped, and that Elizabeth has some 'discomfort at night' [in the late stages of her pregnancy]. Hopes Mrs Catt [the nurse] will like the place, which will be 'a haven of warmth & shelter, after Langdale in the winter'. The result of the elections so far are worse than she hoped, but they [the Tories] only have three seats in London yet; [the Liberals] 'have so little to gain upon, and so much to lose'. Glad Elizabeth has found a good horse. Sends love to Robert; hopes he 'enjoyed the excitement of the [election] returns'.
