My Dear Henry

I leave this tomorrow with Valletort & suite ¹ - pray do me the kindness to signify in Sackville Street ² that they may expect me on the 11^th or 12^th - because having had the influenza I shall travel leisurely & for change of air. Amandier ³ is very anxioius I should see you before you see M. de Bassano ⁴ &c &c all which I believe she wrote to you yesterday. She is in a state of agitation & most anxious you should sign nothing in London beacuse she thinks English Lawyers are not aquainted with French Law & subterfuges. The desire they expressed that you should sign in London makes her think you ought not.

If you are at Laycock pray desire Nicole to write to London to signify to Sara as above. ⁵ Poor Amandier a eu la fievre toute la Nuit & says Ap'elle Momma de Calotype! because she is so afraid of your being taken in, il y a si peu de bonne foi en France des quid d'agit l'Argent- ⁶

God Bless you Dearest

I don't like the thought of my journey at all
