| Description | Regret at not seeing him, but her having left home to visit of the Duchess of Kent and also to get a change of air, as recommended by Sir Henry Halford: arrangements for her to be there for 2 or 3 nights, with a room on the ground floor: having seen Alexander yesterday, with leeches behind the ear bleeding "like a pump" and doing her good, with instruction to drop one drop of belladonna in her eye on Monday for him to judge whether it distresses or helps the eye: her wish not to be troublesome and to avoid too many people meddling, following the example of her father: hope of wathen's affairs going on well.
