Letter from Charlotte Finch to Mary Hamilton. She writes that she can provide a good account of Prince Alfred and that the sea-bathing is benefiting him.

Finch writes of her happiness at seeing her son when he landed. He has now rushed to London to prepare for the Royal birthday which she supposes Hamilton and all at Court are very busy preparing. Windsor will be opened again for the firing of the guns \u2018which shakes the Castle\u2019. She has had the pleasure of seeing Mrs Carter whom she expects has her usual headache although she looked very well and was cheerful.
