Remarking that she did not receive his letter addressed to her in Rome; regretting to hear that she is dissatisfied with her sister Lady Julia's marriage; commiserating with her on Lord Londonderry's recent suicide and relating an incident when Lord Londonderry described a hallucination to him, remarking that "the truth is now plain that the vision had been the creation of a temporary access of his constitutional infirmity;" discussing the King's recent visit to Scotland, describing in particular the well-behaved crowds and the mutual delight that the King and Scottish subjects took in each other; noting that "the bustle occupied us till the beginning of this month" and that he has since been resting at Abbotsford; mentioning that Walter is at Dresden "studying the great art of war" and that he intends to travel there the following spring to "fetch him home;" hoping that he may see Lady Abercorn then if she is still on the continent.
