My dearest mrs Hornsweagle
I am writing to thank you for your invitation to join you at your county estate for the spring. I would love to join you but must regret to inform you that I will be unable to come. Our neighbor the widow crimpers has come down with a case of the gout for which I see no end, and at her advanced age of sixty-three she needs my constant attention.
I was sorry to hear that Henry has once again come down with the consumption. I'm sure as are you that it has something to do with that awful orphan girl he has been seen in the company of. A girl like that with no proper upbringing shouldn't be allowed near theaters in the first place let alone to actually mingle with society.
I will look after your affairs her until your return.
Your sincerely
Mrs Lanard Wrinklebottom
