Writes about "Sally Rumfield" (Countess Sarah Thompson Rumford) to her brother. Mentions she has only seen Rumford a couple of times. Says Rumford moved to Germany with her father and returned as a countess but a poor one. Quotes a friend saying the Countess had all her parties in Boston, Massachusetts and is well admired for everything but her shabby dress. Also appears to hint at Rumford's death. The second half of the letter is written on a smaller piece of paper.
