1 item

Seatoller, Borrowdale, Keswick. - Is sending this with B[essie]'s letter to say what a pleasant time they are having; Bessie is well, better than at Haslemere where it was 'so hot and thundery'; the countryside is beautiful and they both like it very much. Very sorry to hear Maria is still not well; hopes the warm weather will help. No-one else here 'except a few Cambridge men who are going to chase each other over the hills in a day or two' [the Man Hunt]; they are quiet and do not interfere. He and Bessie are just going for a walk after lunch. She is trying to make him pronounce 'Mrs Hansje Knipperdolletje', which she says is her name now; he finds it very difficult.
