Saturday

My dear Mrs Disraeli

We heard quite by

chance but with

deep regret that you

were detained in

London by your

amiable sister-in-

law's indisposition,

and not venturing

to trouble that

kind lady while

she is out of health

and requires complete

repose I rely as usual

upon your unvarying

indulgence to convey

 

my best wishes for

Miss Disraeli's speedy

recovery to her bedside

and also to send

me some account of

her progress to convelesence.

I am more sincerely

happy than I can

possibly say that

Mr Fitzroy is now

really improving.---

During ten days

the poor sufferer

much exhausted by

several months of

constant fever was

in immanent peril,

and the thoughts of

his unfortunate wife's

agony of alarm and

despair haunted me

day and night -- doubly

so, as she would

see no one but the

gentlemen of her family

and I could not even

have the satisfaction

of comforting and

cheering the poor woman

I ardently hope & trust

that the fine weather

which we are now

enjoying may bring

restorated health

& strength to all invalids,

and with a thousand

good wishes for Miss

Disraeli, as well as

my sincere regards to her,

I remain

Always most aff[ectionate]ly yours

CL de Rothschild
