To Fanny Keats (Wentworth Place, February 11, 1820)

Wentworth Place, February 11, 1820

My dear Fanny

I am much the same as when I last wrote. I hope a little more verging towards improvement. Yesterday morning being very fine, I took a walk for a quarter of an hour in the garden and was very much refresh’d by it. You must consider no news, good news, if you do not hear from me the day after to-morrow.

Your affectionate Brother
John.
