18 Bradmore Road, Oxford - Is sorry to hear that another operation is needed on Sir James' eyes; they were slow to hear about his Condorcet ['Condorcet on the Progress of the Human Mind'], and suggests they pick a date for the conference at the Taylorian, and they would announce it in the Gazette; is sure she regrets their nice set up at the British Museum and is amused by her statement that 'Cambridge nous tend ses bras humides'; her husband is absorbed in the marriage of Benjamin Constant; when they returned from holiday, they saw that someone had tried to break into the house; pigeons also got into the house via the cavernous chimneys 'que le gros pigeons y entrent comme dans un moulin'; her two maids are getting married and leaving in November and December.
