My dear Fanny,
I sent up for Willie Napier to come
to breakfast with me this morning for I was very
lonely. We had not finished our repast before Count
Pulsky came in and he for half an hour poured
forth his grateful memories of his sojourn with
Kossuth in Austria – and especially of his visits
to us – Kossuth is engaged in a crusade for Hungary
and he was very much mortified when he found
that his general instructions at his door yesterday
had excluded me. I shall try to see him to-
morrow before he leaves town on an excursion to
speak on the War question in various parts of the
Kingdom – I was gratified to find that even you
shall as you were when they were in America
are well remembered as is your mother by all
of that interesting band of exiles – Lord Napier coming
in to take me to Church off Mr Pulsky
of the Church of the Temple and of my promenade
with his Lordship in the gardens – after a
lunch with him at his hotel I have spoken
I have dined to day with Mr Bates and

6
his family and a party of his friends – I have
visited the Blatchfords whom I find engaged
in sight seeing, but disgusted with a city that
knows not even their presence.
On coming home I found the cards of Mr
Dallas and all the diplomats smat and
cumbersome functions of an county together with
the cards of the Earl of Westminster, The Earl
of Carlisle, Mr Delane Editor of the Times
and some other gentlemen, and invitations from
Mrs Dallas to her reception, and from
Lord Westminster (with a kind letter of welcome)
to dinner at a day quite as he is
going out of town.
