Description:
Gunning writes about her unhappiness over her 'sister of her heart' leaving in order to 'take a change of air' in Nancy, France, for the benefit of her poor health. Since her sister, her father and brother have gone, Gunning has been spending her time with Lady Carlisle who she describes as being 'exceedingly kind' to her. She notes that she has dined and supped at Lady Carlisles every day 'at least I did so till the Argyles came, to whom I now give some of my time'. She reports that the Argyles are all well although the Duchess has grown fat. Guning writes of her usual daily routine, rising early and playing the harpsichord. She notes that 'mastering musick' (sic) and letter writing takes up a great part of her day. Gunning continues her letter with news of friends, including Lady Dartrey, Stephen Digby, Lady Wake and the death of Sir William Wake.
