My dear Miss Rochester,

Please extend my most heartfelt sympathies to both your mother and brother, who we shall miss dreadfully. I do hope your mothers condition improves, and beg of you to advise me on what care her physician has instructed? My own mother, in her elder years, found a residence on the coast eased her pain considerably.

Rooms will be provided for you, or a suit if this is preferable. Will you be requiring a maid? If so, my wife will be happy to attach one of her girls to you for the duration of your stay. In the evening there is to be a dinner and dance for those remaining guests, and I would be delighted if you were also to attend.

Sincerely,
Lord Tobias Hurst, Duke of Devon

My dear Lord Hurst,

My mother sends her sincerest thanks for your concern, and has asked me to inform you that when she is well she would greatly enjoy the company of you and the Duchess. She is soon to be well, and is only suffering from a slight influenza brought on by the weather we've had, but her physician is sure that it has run its course and it is now simply a matter of regaining strength. And she's a while to go yet before she finds old age, so this will surely not keep her down.

I have faith in any of the lodgings you offer, though an available suite would be preferable. It has been some time since I left London, and I should enjoy the spaciousness of your estate! A maid would indeed be appreciated, but in no way necessary. And I am thoroughly pleased to hear there will be dancing, as I quite enjoy it and would be honoured to attend.

Warm regards,
Katherine S. Rochester

	Dear Miss Rochester, I am glad to hear that the particulars of your mothers illness are no longer serious. I will try to reserve for you a suitable set of rooms, my dear Miss Rochester, and there will certainly be a maid at your disposal. Will you require me to set aside a hunting mare for your use in the morning? Yours humbly, Lord Tobias Hurst (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dear Lord Hurst, Thank you kindly for your hospitality. It has always been, and still is, very much appreciated. I am afraid I will not be up to riding after my late arrival to your estate on account of another engagement to which I am obliged. However, I will join the rest for picnic and for the evening activities. Cordially, Katherine S. Rochester (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My dear Miss Rochester, I quite understand. I shall await your arrival at our picnic with eagerness, and hope that your previous engagement does not diminish your taste for dancing. Your humble servant, Lord Tobias Hurst (Reply to this) (Parent)
