Is it to be let or sold?",
she has seen "Westwood ... a charming old place turned into a farm house near Bath", and hopes "to go about next week to see some places" but "the stay at Harrogate did not agree with me, and my right arm being so bad, is the reason I did not write before", about his boy, "I know there are some very clever men you could consult ... and I will send you their names and address", ending "I should much like to see your improvements & additions at Ockwells", with a P.S. saying "The damp of this house has got into my writing paper therefore please excuse the blotty condition", 9 sides 8vo and autograph envelope, Kensington Palace, 6th October
