Harriet, Countess Granville, to her brother, the Duke of Devonshire, 23 June 1837:
'I hope Granville [husband] will be well enough to pay a visit to England [...] but he cannot yet
walk [?due to previously-mentioned gout] [...] We therefore remain here for the present,
avide [sic] of news [of accession of Queen Victoria], devouring newspapers, gasping for
letters, and marking days by the intelligence received: for it is history, fate, romance, all in
one [...] Such a little love of a Queen!'
