where the young Lord found
her. He is a pleasing
specimen of the Nobility - perfectly
unassuming, sensible & cordial
in manner - he does not seem
over 25 though he is a member
of Parliament - wore his arm in
a sling having dislocated his
shoulder skating in Canada

to Church with him in the morning.
She went to the Catholick
Church with Mr Morgan.
The letter in the Tribune which
you speak of, was pretty severe,
of course no one believes it here
unless it be some of the
Republican party - it undoubtedly
has some foundation in truth.
I am not sorry that Henry
called Lord Napiers attention to
it, though I do not think it
troubles him. He seems entirely
sure that his course is right
& that his opinions on the sub-
ject of slavery have nothing to
do with his recall.
Fanny & Henry have gone to market
which gives me time to finish
my letter - though I have
not written half I intended.
Will went yesterday morning
to New York to meet Anna
