Duchess of Beaufort

To Lady Olivia Sparrow, Dec 1826 [incomplete]

I hear frequently from that most active and genuine Christian the Duchess of Beaufort^* – She is the of this part of the World. Three of her daughters, as you know, are most exemplary.^* I trust you have read ’s Bible Speech,^* he sent it me with [tear]ly pious letter. Tho not many [tear], not many noble are called, yet blessed be God some are, and the number is visibly greatly increased, and increasing.
