            July 25th 1834 My dear Sir
as Mary is much occupied at present I have taken charge of sending you Your favorite Paper (next to the Times) and cannot put it up without writing a few lines. I fancy Mary has written to you of her intended Marriage which I cannot think of yet without pain. For she will be separated from us and I am afraid we shall see her seldom as she will live in Yorkshire, but I hope she herself will be happy (she seldom opens the Piano as her Intended does not care much for Music As I cannot live without it I invited myself to Tea on Saturday last to the Moscheles’s where we had delightful Music quite nothing to one at such a time)
Mr Moscheles played for me the one you have dedicated to him and which I recognised as my Old friend, when Mary was reading to your Father in Portland Street when I asked leave to intrude It is quite beautiful! As are also some songs Mary got lately at Booseys. I hope to hear you play them yourself next year. I am afraid there is little hope of seeing you this Autumn
Your Sister I hear talks of coming I hope to make her acquaintance although Mary is not here who is her correspondents. Mary had such a kind letter from your Father lately but I was vexed that he wrote in such low Spirits about the loss of his Sight which he thought would be total very soon. I do not know if she has written to announce her Marriage to him yet. I am sure no one will be more anxious for her happiness than he will!

Dr Rosin we seldom see which I regret as I think him a very superior Person and so interesting. Let me know if I can send you any Books or any thing else as we could hear of opportunities to do so. The Life of Sir Walter Scott by Lockhart and himself is not published yet or I would have sent it as I promised.
