‘Rydal Mount: Thursday [27th June, 1835].

‘My dear Rogers,—I write merely to announce that one of the many anxieties with which this house has been afflicted is over. Miss Hutchinson, after an illness of five weeks, expired on Tuesday evening. After the fever was subdued she suffered no acute pain, and passed away as gently as her dearest friends could wish.

‘Affectionately yours,
‘Wm. Wordsworth.’
