Elton, Sir Abraham

To Lady Olivia Sparrow, August 1814

, Sir A. Elton our two principle neighbours are going to France. How that abominable country is to make the old young, and the sick well, and the fanciful[l] [tear] contented I do not know. Poor [sic] is ordered to spend the Winter at Nice, she is in very bad health, increased I fear by the dejection of her Spirits on 's conduct^*. She writes very piously wishes much that she could have the benefit and consolation of our dear 's Society there, and she thinks it might patch him up for years. – But the thing is quite out of the question I think.
