Scope and content

26 Pall Mall. - Has received Milnes' 'present of Poplin, which is exactly suited to my tastes'; sends her thanks, and hopes that 'next year you will have frequent opportunities of judging if it be becoming'. On receiving Milnes' letter this morning she forwarded his parcels and books to Lord Galway. Asks if Milnes can send her the key of his bookcase, as there are 'two Ladies occupying the apartments who are a leetle particular, & consider the books in their present arrangement or rather disorder (for some have evidently been thrown in in a hurry) are unsightly'. Sends her regards to Milnes' parents, and her 'compl[imen]ts of the season' to him.
