I ought to have sent you an account of your cousin's first party, but I was lazy, and now it is too long ago; suffice it, that everything was just as it ought to be, in a style that any of her connexions must have been gratified to witness, and that her own dress and manners did her the greatest credit.

My friend, Mrs.Fraser, is mad for such a house, and it would not make _me_ miserable.

I go to Lady Stornaway after Easter; she seems in high spirits, and very happy.

I fancy Lord S.is very good-humoured and pleasant in his own family, and I do not think him so very ill-looking as I did--at least, one sees many worse.

He will not do by the side of your cousin Edmund.
