From Caulfeild, Anne, Countess of Charlemont 8 September 1831

15 Upper Gros.r Street

8 September 1831

Sir,

Since the receipt of your letter, I have enquired if the parcels directed to M: Ramsay Esq. had been called for, & I find that they still remain unclaimed at N. o 2 Grosvenor Square–

Allow me, Sir, to assure you of the sincere sympathy we feel with his friends in so great an affliction, as tho’ M. r Ramsay never wrote to us, or communicated the many changes of life that may have occurred during the long period that has elapsed since he left our family – yet Lord Charlemont & I retain so much esteem & respect for his superior character & we so highly valued his amiable disposition – that we have felt deeply shocked at seeing his name lately in the Newspapers.–

May I beg to know if you wish me to forward the parcels to Cambridge to your address –

believe me | Your ob t Serv t | A. Charlemont
