Howard Grove, March 26.
This house seems to be the house of joy; every face wears a smile, and a laugh is at everybody's service. It is quite amusing to walk about and see the general confusion; a room leading to the garden is fitting up for Captain Mirvan's study. Lady Howard does not sit a moment in a place; Miss Mirvan is making caps; everybody so busy! -- such flying from room to room! -- so many orders given, and retracted, and given again! nothing but hurry and perturbation.
