She also passes on what little she knew of Mary Rebecca Williams, who was working as a Governess, and was possibly traveling to France or Italy with a lady and a little girl, and writes of Fanny Heathcote's steady recovery and the hope for her impending nuptials. Mrs Pigott's melancholy state is mentioned, and other friends are talked of such as the Fowlers, White's, and Marianne Heath who had died from an illness which Mrs Williams describes had not been well understood. Finally, she requests William to bring "Shuckford" (which was probably 'The Sacred and profane history of the world' by Samuel Shuckford) with him back to the city from Oxford.
