Tuesday
My dear Father,
I unluckily overlooked the postscript in your letter & therefore did not write to the Athenæum 1 & now I am afraid it may be too late for you to get the letter. By there being no letters – for me yesterday. I conclude that Mr Mansel Talbot 2 is not in town therefore I do not want to go there. If you have written to say you are going to Lacock perhaps I might wish to go there.
I have shifted here from the Royal Oak. & have seen a good deal of the Speddings 3 &c.
Your affect son
Charles
