Content Description

She has been ill for two months. She chose a new young doctor who did not "bleed me to death", leaving most of her restoration to nature. She is now allowed a glass of Burgundy a day and is quite well. St. Omer has had many deaths. "Queen Heathcot" has returned and is living in a retired manner, professing herslf a "loyalist" and calling the congress "vagabonds". Some English officers arrived, having known her in America, have shown the lie to this. Continues with more local news, making reference to the general political situation.
