| Description | Mary expects they will be at cross purposes in letter-writing. She notes that John is still at station XXXVI with three more stations to go to, and yet he tells her not to write again. Mary cannot conceal that she remains ill and cannot fix a day to go down [to Bangalore]. She is thankful for cheerful letters. She has seen Dr Fitzgerald daily, but he can do little except to recommend that she gets away 'from this vile place'. She has heard from Emma [Herschel] that William [William James Herschel] has a low fever. |
