Description | Written from Berlin. His shame at not having written before, but father's letters taking up his time: glad his son Wathen is again with them: his mother happy to write a letter of recommendation to King Otho for him: his father having written in excellent spirits, mentioning that the King is going to spoil a pheasant course to make a ha-ha, much to the gamekeeper's annoyance: arrival yesterday last year of his brothers in England, little thinking ought then he would be in Berlin now: conclusion of letter, having several others to write, with regards to the family. Sheet, with 3½ pages of text. [The year appears to look like 1834, but the mention of Wathen being home makes a date of 1836 more likely reading.] |
