Milan. - Milnes' predictions concerning Lord Londonderry have been realised: he writes he has lost £40,000 a year through fall in coal market and has been forced to sell Correggios for less than half the £50,000 paid for them; at least they have been acquired by the National Gallery. Lord Londonderry offers other pictures, furniture, and marble chimneypieces, but is perhaps overestimating the need to sell. Lord George is to join Colonel Hughes on a tour of southern Italy, 'with a view of dispelling the blue devils'. Postscript sending compliments to Major Nolan.
