[Endorsed by Mrs. Villiers] Septr. 1816.
My dear Mrs. Villiers—

A—— is with me—and wishes me to express her most grateful sense of all your kindness, on which she will not trespass by any thing that could agitate you in

LADY BYRON AND MRS LEIGH (II)
your present state—and will therefore decline your friendly offer of calling upon her to-day—at the same time that she feels great comfort in the hope of hearing from you—Thank you once more for all your consideration for me—& still more for her & believe me,

Ever yours most affectly.,
A. I. B.

The above was written under A’s inspection—I have only to add that I see all I could wish in her towards you—& the humblest sense of her own situation—I have told her from you that the informant you alluded to was no relation of hers—& she will not enquire further—I have settled with Murray to cut out those lines & give them to her—She has shown me of her own accord his letters to her—having only suppressed them because of the bitterness towards me—they are absolute love letters—and she wants to know how she can stop them—No more time—But you shall hear from E. Farm.
