She later reports that they had been delayed by floods and heavy rain at Muy, ten miles from Fréjus, where the boys were able to go over the flooded fields in a raft but their conversation with the lower servants in the inn was hampered by the letters inability to speak French.

She describes the comfort of their rather plain lodging at Albano and the pleasure it was to have only their two maids to do everything for them, and mentions that they expected to be there for a few days because of the political situation in Naples and that Anna and Sarah Gurney had joined them that day. The following day, she describes their activities in their lodging over the Sunday, where they were confined by the rain. They expected Richards, the two boys, and Keily, who had remained...

She directs him to arrange for a proper assistant for Buxton and for Cook or George to go...

She was anxious about Buxton's languor and delicate health and his determination to leave for home with only a courier to accompany him. She asks where he could go on landing and begs them to ensure that William Forster or someone similar could take care of him. She directs them to write to her in Bologna and then Venice.

She suggests that Buxton's return would not be nearly such a strain for Catherine in the London house and that with good management he need not wear her down as much as he had done previously. She suggests that they should have separate apartments, that Buxton should have his own servants and secretary to attend to him, that Catherine should stand firm about not taking on any of his work, that neither of them should receive his visitors, and that Edward should tell his father openly that...

In Florence, she and Sarah had bought a number of engravings of the pictures they had seen for themselves and for him, but had not yet visited all the galleries in Rome to make their choice, which was a difficult thing to do during carnival. She describes the pelting with sugar plums, which was an important part of the daily festivities, admitting that they had almost had enough of it; though Buxton had been a boisterous participant, Hannah had merely watched from her window. She reports on...

He suggests that, if his book had not already been printed, part of the prayer for Parliament might provide a suitable motto for the section on elevation of mind. He writes of the effect of lending the first volume of his work to leading Italians,...
