I have at last found out the cause of her ill-humour, or at least of that portion of it of which I was the object.

She is in a rage at my article on Walpole, but at what part of it I cannot tell.

I know that she is very intimate with the Waldegraves, to whom the manuscripts belong, and for whose benefit the letters were published.

But my review was surely not calculated to injure the sale of the book.

Lord Holland told me, in an aside, that he quite agreed with me, but that we had better not discuss the subject.
A note; and, by my life, from my Lady Holland: "Dear Mr.Macaulay, pray wrap yourself very warm, and come to us on Wednesday." No, my good Lady.
