1 item

8, Grosvenor Crescent, S.W. - Surprised it has been a week since their visit to the Mill House; she has been busy with arrangements for moving, and also 'rather agitated over a coachman and a footman'; thinks everything is settled now. Sir George left this morning; she is spending tomorrow with Aunt Annie [Philips] and going to Wallington on Thursday. Hopes Elizabeth and Robert have 'enjoyed the woods' and kept cool in the hot weather. Accounts of the 'Stratford riots are very shocking'; is afraid there will be 'much [electoral] intimidation'; feels she should be there but supposes she would not be much use; wishes she were younger and could 'show them what [she thinks] of them!!'. Hopes Elizabeth is feeling better and the medicine and quiet are suiting her. Aunt Alice [Dugdale] wonders if she and Robert will be in town again and whether they will visit her; Caroline said she did not know, being unsure whether they wanted to visit. Sends a present for Robert for his birthday. Has just received Elizabeth's note: glad to have 'a good account' of her; hopes Miss Martin will come.
