28 BL Althorp F40: GD to LS, Feb. 29 [1766]. Note the juxtaposition in the following sentence: Bettys child is dead But she is very well my grand-mamma went to Wimbleton [sic] this morning and found my sisters Hariot and Charlote very well. It is very common for children surprised by a new arrival to fantasize about its removal. The fact that Georgiana linked the death of Bettys child with Harriet and Charlotte being well suggests the turn of her thoughts.
