Summary:
Discusses their friends: Miss Louisa Lane, Mrs Howorth's brother, Mary Evans, Louisa [Mrs Howorth's daughter], Douglas [Mrs Howorth's son]. Cannot recommend any Italian poetry, but has learnt to like Italian music, enchanted with Rome, unable to draw any views of Switzerland. Her reflections on [Jean-Jacques] Rousseau [(1712-1778), philosopher] and Socrates are excellent and just. Very much "chargrined" at the situation in Chelsea [pregnancy of his housekeeper, Molly Standard], and has made "no provision for a groaning". Since arriving in Genoa has had a little pleurisy, which was immediately removed by bleeding.
