The sorrow which his death caused her was fearful in its character, as described in this Poem, but was subdued in course of time by the strength of her religious faith.

I have been for many weeks at a time an inmate with her at Coleorton Hall, as were also Mary and my sister.

The truth in the sketch of her character here given was acknowledged with gratitude by her nearest relatives.

She was eloquent in conversation, energetic upon public matters, open in respect to these, but slow to communicate her personal feelings.

Upon these she never touched in her intercourse with me, so that I could not regard myself as her confidential friend, and was accordingly surprised when I learnt she had left me a legacy of 100_l._ as a token of her esteem.
