Content Summary: He was grieved although hardly surprised by her letter as it will leave her more lonely than ever. He wishes he could come to her. With her sorrow must be the remembrance of her loving friendship to poor Jane - one of the best of creatures. He hopes she will go away for a little from a house of kindness and charity, which are welcome offerings to God. He will hope to see her. He is there for a little - he loves this country for he is "half native and to the manner born". For a few days he was with Harry at Sheringham which he thinks she would like. Harry is now at Broadstairs with Dorothea and the Bairds. Would she like Broadstairs? There is a comfortable hotel, the Grand. Dorothea has a little house: 2 Pierrepont Villas. With love and constant affection.
