‘Paris: Monday [no date].

‘My dear R.,—I write to you now in case I should be prevented to-morrow by the hurry of new arrivals. I write to impress as strongly as I can on you the imprudence of exposing yourself to cold. I called the other day before one, and found you gone out to walk on a very cold day. Now when you have been ill of a bad cold, this was the very worst thing you could do. Old Dr. Brownrigg of Cumberland, a friend of Dr. Black and all our famous men, said to a man who told him he “had nothing but a cold.” “Nothing but a cold! Would you
MR. BANCROFT349
have the plague?” And so it is to all persons advanced in life. I have taken more pains against that than any other malady, and I do most strongly urge you to do the same thing yourself.

‘I have seen the Hollands and Normanbys and Arago—no one else. I dine at Holland’s to-day and Luttrell is to be there.

‘Things are quiet for the hour—or week—or month. But no one has the very least confidence in them. I wish you were going with me on Sunday to philosophis in Provence with a fine sun and dry air. Adieu.

‘Yours ever most sincerely,
‘H. Brougham.’
