LXXIX To Fanny Keats
[Hampstead,] Tuesday Morn [December 1, 1818].
My dear Fanny—Poor Tom has been so bad that I have delayed your visit hither—as it would be so painful to you both. I cannot say he is any better this morning—he is in a very dangerous state—I have scarce any hopes of him. Keep up your spirits for me my dear Fanny—repose entirely in
Your affectionate Brother
John.
