C1850 'My dear Miss Senior, Thanks for the extraordinary form which you sent me, and for which I have already a companion on occasion of the death of one of the de Croisman family. We shall not be in London till 4 or 5 tomorrow, and tea dinner and calls are alike impossible for me; for though I am considerably better you would think to see me I could scarcely be worse and would agree that I must not think of anything but my own house at present. My husband is gone to Canterbury and we shall meet in Grosvenor Square tomorrow, therefore I cannot answer for his engagements but if we are not off on Tuesday, I can conceive no course which would not make him and Alice delighted to dine with you on that day. I am very sorry to hear you have had a cold; your approbation of Paul Terroll gives me great pleasure. I hear that the publisher and Mr Mudie have quarrelled over it and accordingly it does not appear in his Catalogue of Interesting Works. Ever yours sincerely, C.
