Content Description
Shes asks that when he has final news of the
Grenville business he send it to her via
Mr. Durno at Rome, without
Mr. B's knowledge; the "Reverend Father in God etc etc etc" [Bishop of Derry] has returned the
Cupid when nearly complete, with the weak excuse that a holy man should not have a naked figure in his house; all of these troubles have thrown Mr. B. into a fever; their prospects at Rome are worse than in England. She is now nursing her husband and their daughter; she suspects Humphry's case is at some warehouse in Leghorn.
