She looks forward with delight to the probability of visiting Germany next summer – if her health admit of that pleasure – Lady Campbell owes her knowledge of the German language & her interest in German literature to our friend Mr Hare– Lady Malcolm has the most delightful accounts from Sir John – His health and spirits are excellent – but he thinks this year must [6]Paginierung des Editors terminate the seperation from his family – he sighs for his own home – And I trust next year will restore him to us – – We often talk of you – often revert to the pleasant day we spent at Bonn & to the pleasure we enjoyed in your visits to Godesberg – I often wish that we may again have the gratification of your society –Your carriage & favorite horses are still a theme with Lady Malcolm – her wonder is still undiminished that such an equipage so well appointed should exist in – Germany – You already know our friend Mr Whewell, but I am sure you will be delighted by increasing knowledge of him – How much I should like to be present at some of your conversations – It is very vexatious that he did not go up the Rhine last summer instead [7]Paginierung des Editors of this – I am going to spend this summer and next winter in Scotland amidst My native mountains – I trust Mr Whewell will bring us pleasant tidings of your health & pursuits –– Lady Malcolm unites with me in every kind wish – Pray offer our best remembrances to Dr Lassen and believe Me My dear friendYours Most sincerelyM Manning –[8]Paginierung des Editors [leer]
