Writing in September or October of 1824 while in Philadelphia nursing Lorenzo, Nelly expresses her regrets that Elizabeth, too, is sick. She saw Caroline Calvert for a half hour and hurried back to Lorenzo--he has had a fever. She will come to see Elizabeth in the morning and read Parke's letters to her, unless Elizabeth is well enough to call on Nelly and Lorenzo. She wishes to have a sick coat, or gown, made for Lorenzo.
