Roma
Febbrajo 1823 Domenica 1

Probably your letter 2 from Mola di Gæta was sent by some private hand, for it came after the one from Naples & had no post mark of any kind. I send you by this post Two from England.

Lady W. 3 is extremely ill. after persuading Lady Charlotte Lindsay 4 to dine with Mrs Palliser, she quarrelled with her & wanted Lady C. to send an excuse, saying she was a horrid woman, but you remember her writing me a note in which she called Mrs P. a sweet woman! It appears she is angry with her for having made it up with Mrs B. 5 & now she will quarrel with Lady C for not quarrelling with Mrs P. She will quarrel with Lady C – It was a paysanne du Tyrol 6 at the Bal Masqué. Peasants of all countries abunded. Tomorrow is the moccoli 7 on putting out the Carnival at Sun set.
