The Earl Grey. Lambton Hall Sept 29
My dear Lord Grey
William received a Week ago a Letter from B. Saying that he had a supernatural Intimation that Lady S had drowned herself that Morning - that in consequence he had set off for Bradley, in the full expectation of finding the fact confirmed - that if it did not turn out to be so, he could not expect William to believe his other assertions as they rested chiefly on the same foundation.
A few days afterwards he heard again from B who said ‘I think it necessary to inform you that Lady S is alive and well. I can not therefore ask you to believe me again, for I will not acknowledge those things which I placed on the same footing, to be false - I leave Bradley for London tomorrow.’ William thinks he meant to have said now instead of not - for as it stands now is unintelligible - but what else can be expected from such a Madman.
We expect the Jerseys here today from Chillingham. She has been unwell.
I fear from the young Ladies account you did not find Torquay very comfortable, at all Events I hope Lady Grey’s health is better for it.
My best love to her and all with you.
Yours ever affect.
