With the most rigid economy which I am compelled to practise, I find it will be absolutely impossible to continue housekeeping on my present means two mont[h]s longer.

All I desire to know is, what prospect, there is of a change, or if you have been advised of any, please inform me so that I may make my arrangements. I can assure you, it will add, another pang, to my afflictions, if I have to give up for want of means to keep it up, my present situation. If so, my pride would not allow me to remain in a land, under so many obligations to my noble husband. I would go, with my son, where I could live retired & at less expense, far distant from here. Without hesitation in case of nothing being done, I shall proceed in a few weeks, to dispose of all my personal effects, which in the future will not be required.
