Mr. Lyford says he will cure me, and if he fails, I shall
draw up a memorial and lay it before the Dean and Chapter, and have no
doubt of redress from that pious, learned, and disinterested body. Our
lodgings are very comfortable. We have a neat little drawing-room
with a bow window overlooking Dr. Gabell's garden. {173} Thanks to
the kindness of your father and mother in sending me their carriage,
my journey hither on Saturday was performed with very little fatigue,
and had it been a fine day, I think I should have felt none; but it
distressed me to see uncle Henry and Wm. Knight, who kindly attended
us on horseback, riding in the rain almost the whole way. We expect a
visit from them to-morrow, and hope they will stay the night; and on
Thursday, which is a confirmation and a holiday, we are to get Charles
out to breakfast. We have had but one visit from _him_, poor fellow,
as he is in sick-room, but he hopes to be out to-night. We see Mrs.
Heathcote every day, and William is to call upon us soon. God bless
you, my dear E.
