| Description | Their letters had crossed, and she does not know if the letter and case had been forwarded to India. [Georges] Cuvier had entrusted her to enquire whether Captain Kater had received the diploma from the Institut, which was directed to the Royal Society; her own letter was directed in the same manner. She notes the movements of children, and a gathering of friends during which the Katers were discussed. She mentions a visitor to London and asks to be remembered to Mrs Parkins and Captain Kater. |
