| Title | Letter: Eyre Evans Crowe to Mrs. Pennel. He made a recent trip to England to do some business and stayed at Lord Lansdowne's house for ten days. "I can conceive no persons more amiable or intelligent, than both Lord & Lady Lansdowne - he, and indeed both, read & taking more interested in literature than I had thought possible for either a lady of rank, or a politician". He mentions the other guests present; comments on the fashion for "a change of air"; Mrs Crowe sends thanks for the bonnet; he describes the house and garden they are settled in 6 miles from Boulogne; hopes to visit Paris and the Pennels in December. |
