Scope and content
Montmorency. - Would have enjoyed a visit from Milnes as the train journey from Paris only takes 40 minutes; fears they will not meet again; Vichy waters made him so ill he had to be carried; nearly died of 'gout of the stomach' last month and was burned by an iron in the confusion; only kept alive by his wife's care. Tom's career as a country gentleman far better than a life of worldly vanity; Milnes has been both the 'brilliant political meteor of Bolton Row' and a simple farmer at Thorne, but perhaps neither satisfied him; good reports of Milnes' son's new wife. [Section missing]. Discussion of inappropriate business speculations; Spencer Cowper has sold one of his Norfolk estates. [End missing].
