‘My dear Rogers,—Can you tell me anything comfortable about poor Mrs. Sheridan and where she is?

220 ROGERS AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES  

‘I had a letter from her soon after the sad event, from which it appeared to me that she was almost heartbroken. You know, perhaps, the unfortunate cause that prevented my attendance with you at the funeral. I was truly sorry not to be there and grieved also that I have not since been able to go and inquire after Mrs. Sheridan and Charles.

‘Your most kind, affectionate, and generous attentions to poor Sheridan in his last moments were most sensibly felt by her, and the consolation they gave to our dying friend are not to be described. My son, thank God, is in somewhat a more favourable state.

‘Ever truly yours, &c.,
‘F. Townshend.’
