Dear Mr Talbot –
I cannot hear of your being all at Lacock without desiring most earnestly to obtain from you some account of Lady Elizabeth & your Sisters. 1 I hope and pray that you may be able to tell me that they are recovering to a certain degree that composure which must have been so completely destroyed by so severe a trial as they have had to undergo – and that they are regaining their health – I have felt most sincerely for them, and most truly lament for myself the loss of so kind and long tried a friend as was Admiral Feilding 2 to me – Pray excuse me – and with my best Compliments to Mrs Talbot 3
Believe me Yours very Truly
