Scope and content
Spixworth Park, Norwich, addressed to Wilmot Vaughan, Hardwick House, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk. - No-one will hear from her about Vaughan's legacy; as he knows, she never told Gery though she finds that Vaughan told him himself. Is 'delighted' everything is all right but did not know there was 'any doubt about it'. Glad Young gives 'such good accounts of Hardwick..' he had 'Couleur de rose specs on' when he wrote, which he should keep on 'as they will be useful to use on me!'.
Postscript: Young should tell Gery that Dick Abdy has bought a place near Dovercough [Dovercourt, Suffolk?] 'vis giving up his Swiss villa'. They were 'so pleased about "Place Royale"'
