Fanny Keate: Letter from Countess Pauline Neale
Level
Item
Date
18 March 1810
Content description
From 58 South Audley Street March18th Monday morning.
Plans to visit Westminster Abbey. Wants to stay with Mrs Pollen after she returns from Scotland and visit Fanny for the 'Easter Holydays'. 'One sees nobody but a crowd in town, no time of real enjoyment for ones friend'. Thanks for the keepsake of 'my little families hair'.Thinks Mrs Sumner (?) may 'have some suffering of the mind' with ailing child. Saw Lady Fanny Proby and talked much of her Eton friends. I thought her charming to the highest degree.
None of her acquaintances 'cut her' as the English can do.Her cousins friends are very kind to her. Falsehood makes her lose her temper. Glad to see Lord Kinnaird. His children are beauties like his wife.
Tired after visiting Westminster Abbey. Refers to the Westminster 'mob' lacking their God. Fears that it could lead to serious mischief that a man addresses a gazing and applauding crowd. Says Fanny was 'threatened with an account of Mrs Siddons and Mrs Keule(??) who she met with in society. Expresses love as ever.
Addressed to Mrs Keate Eton College, Windsor.
