Letter from Priscilla Anne Fane, Countess of Westmorland, Brighton, to Madame Blaze de Bury, 1856 January 19 : autograph manuscript signed.

Thanking her for a letter, hoping that now "we shall have peace", and writing that "this belief will do more than all possible cures for my shattered health for though my son (Francis Fane) has been in Engld. ever since he accompanied the remains of his beloved Uncle (Lord Raglan) last July I have always felt I had a sword hanging over my head in the probability of his Battalion being ordered out"; expressing her pleasure at receiving Blaze de Bury's positive accounts of (Countess Westmorland's youngest son) Julian (Fane); mentioning the appearance of the new weekly periodical entitled the "Saturday Review", which she describes as "chiefly literary", and enclosing an article contributed to that paper by Julian Fane on the subject of Heine; writing that she will be staying on (at Brighton) for her health, that her daughter (Rose Weigall) is with her and that her sons visit her frequently, although at present they are with their father at Apethorpe.
