Vienna, April 4, 1824. " Prince A. 11011ENLORE.
" For Helens Horton."

" Lisbon, July 8, 1824.
"My dear Brother-1 have now, thanks to Almighty God,
the great pleasure and satisfuction to inform you, that ray
daughter, Horton, is perfectly recovered, rind at present quite
well in her health, speech, and. sepses; the benevolent provi-
dence Of Almighty God'has, in her melancholy case, given a
great example of his all-powerful mercy, to the eiucere wishes
of her afflicted parents and friends, through the intercession
and prayers of his Highness Prince Hohenlohe t her perfect
recovery is now the greatest surprise to all those that witnessed
the difterenemelancholy severe stages of her illness which con-
tinned for eighteen months; and during all that time she was
quite speechless, and in the conunencement of her illness she
was lock-jawed for nearly a month, and in the latter months
was' daily seated in a chair like a statue, fed regularly by e
servant-maid, like a 'young child, in consequence of her de-
bility.
" Seeing not the least Appearance of amendment, or her be-
coming better, and observing in the Irish papers you sent me
the cure of some people in your country in similar case,
through the pious prayers and intercession of Prince Hohen-
lohe, I consulted with the President of the English College as
to my writing to his Highness, stating the source and present
state of her molantlioly illness, of which he approved, from
knowing her situation, Herein I send you a copy of my said
letter, dated the 17th et last November, and also of his High-
ness's answer, (hard the 4th of April. My letter waft forwarded
to him at Vienna, enclosed to the Portuguese Minister hence
to that Cotirt, and the answer came here through the same elm-
nd about the middle of May : it was printed, but was signed
personally lee the istince.•
" On the 1280 e of May, the clay appointed by the Prince for
offering his prayers, n solemn mass was celebrated at the Eng-
lish College by the Pfesident, at which Mrs. llorton'is family
and ours assisted, and united hi prayer for the intended pur-
pose. Alre. Horton did not attend, being .then incapable of
paying arty regard to the ceremony ; and it was deemed by the
President better that she could .not he disturbed, or her agita-
tion increased. However, front that day forward .he was daily
becoming better, and, in the course of a few days, was so well
recovered in her speech and intellect, that neither her family or
friends could trace or observe the least mark of her long and
melancholy 'complaint. It is observed, that she is at pretest
more cheerful. and conversable than ever, as also moreeregular
in every attention to her domestic etrairs, chijdTen.
She leis little or no idea of the state of her illness,' nor is it
thought proper to harm her of what was ha dangerous nature.
Contalent that you and your family will be much plealied,at
this information, I remain your affectionate brother, •
" JOHN CUSSEN."
