Mary would rather go to Italy but will go to Paris with Bessie if she wishes. She feels it would be better if they had a portmanteau each rather than one between them, so that she does not have to unpack in London. Bessy [Mary's sister Elizabeth?] will stay as long as Mary wishes to be away. She asks if Bessie knows anyone who wants a nursery governess or a companion to an elderly lady.
