1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Thanks Elizabeth for her letter; sorry she 'came in for fogs'; he does his best to avoid them now. They are glad she is back home again now. Not surprised she admired "The Aspern Papers" and "The Tragic Muse"; she has 'the best of reading' before her until she has read 'the pick of [Henry] James several times'. Is now over his rheumatism, and 'shot a duck before breakfast this morning', but is 'rather over-worked' after a spell of eight months writing and is going to 'take it easy' for a few days. Returns the bills; they were very glad to be able to help them both; has written to Drummond [the banker?] instructing him to pay the money for Elizabeth's time in London [in the nursing home] and for the watercolour Robert got for Caroline into Robert's account.
