| Description | Written from , Witton House, Norfolk, to the British Embassy, Constantinople.
Opinions on Narford Hall and Morton Hall, both belonging to husbands who married Miss Penrice, and Norfolk in general (a "most ugly" county): roofing on house finished, with interior still being worked on: father having seen Georgiana and Ernest, the former looking large and unlikely to wait until December, with the possibility of twins: her boy insisting on being called Sir Langford Sainsbury: her asking Lady E Repton to buy books to be sent out to him: possibility of using Stuart to paint her portrait, his likenesses of women being good: loss of the snuffbox given by him to her husband John, requesting details of its original procurement: commission to him to bring home a Turkish bag of coloured cloths and gold, and if he returns through Russia, a large sable muff: Augustus Wathen not to blame, the court martial not being allowed.
