Content description
From Berlin
Hopes that Louisa's headaches will abate with the use of leeches.Hopes Harriet will be alright on a scanty income when Pauline had thought her well provided for by her father on his marriage and by her mother's fortune.
Great festivities done with the aim of benefitting trade which circulation of cash does. Great zest, great amusement, she took part soberly. Private theatricals, costume ball, 4000 guests on one occasion. The King of Hanover seems to enjoy the parties more than to reign. He plans to go to England in the spring.His son is to go to Berlin with his bride, she is well spoken of and perfectly fit for the high and responsible station she is called to fill. There is to be a court wedding in June, where the hereditary Prince of Strelitz is to go and fetch his bride. May she make him happy and not expect to find in her new country the luxuries your high nobility is used to. One of our Princes has been through London having travelled beyond the Brazils to a country so remote no white body had ever been there before, he met with touching hospitality.
Her sister is very ill with a disorder of the spine. Describes great worship and music in the Parochialkirch, lasting over 3 hours, numerous congregation yet you could have heard a pin drop they were so bent on worship. The papers report that a youth shot at a clergyman in St Pauls, but acquitted for insanity.The punishment out to be reformed instead of tenderness being shown. Miscreants are indulged and lead a happier life than the industrious man who works to feed his wife and children.
Addressed to Mrs Keate, No 4 Cloister Windsor
