Summary:
Smith's letter from Dorset on his son's marriage intentions more accurate than his own information; he is to marry Miss Murray, daughter to [John Murray, 4th] Duke of Atholl's [(1755–1830)] late brother, Lord George, she is 24 and he 31. Nerves broken by alarming accounts of his brother in Cheltenham, [Gloucestershire], son's marriage, and Lady Frankland's declining health.
