Unidad documental simple 2 - Letter from George Frederick Samuel Robinson, Viscount Goderich, to Richard Monckton Milnes

1 folded sheet.

Victoria Mansion, Marine Parade, Brighton. - Meant to write yesterday to say how pleased he was to hear of the birth of Milnes's son and his wife's safety, but was prevented by the state of his mother's health: regrets to say she is 'very dangerously ill'. Hopes the boy will be 'as good a fellow as his father', and trusts it will 'be a long time before he inherits the broad acres of Fryston'. His wife is 'delighted' and sends her congratulations.
