Autograph letter signed "Fr d'A" and dated Bath, 21 July 1816. The letter is addressed to her brother Charles with commiserations on his attack of gout and conveying wishes for a good convalescence "that tedious, monotonous season". The letter continues with speculation as to her son Alexander's success with a Cambridge scholarship "We, here, are almost non-compos with our ignorance relative to the Tancred" and the worry at the potential expense of a change of college. She continues with requests for news, the praise of Charles's son, Charles Parr Burney, and an anecdote of the Bishop of Lincoln's family. She writes ironic comments on the number of departures for the Continent "I am prepared to hear nothing next year but histories of Ghosts, for houses are emptying so fast of all their substantial members, that nothing else will remain to people them". The letter concludes with a vignette of the Duke of Wellington taking the waters at Malvern "walking to the Pump with a little son in each hand".
