Dear Henry,

I received your letter last night and am very glad to hear that you are in England and that we shall see you. I am going tomorrow to Moreton, ¹ where Sir Ch^s, Mary, Isabella, & Emma are, ² and I return here on Saturday, the most of next week I shall also be absent, but certainly here on the 24^th which is Friday in the next week; I shall be very glad to see you on Saturday night, if you like to come & arrange any further visits here, for the 2 or three days I shall be at Abbotsbury or Redlynch, ³ (which, I have not settled). But on the 24^th I shall be stationary for some time, & very happy to have you here. William, Lady I. & M^rs Campbell ⁴ are at Abb^y. I suppose you know Jane ⁵ is in Town in Montague S^t. I thought it best to give you a general outline of the family stations, that you may suit yourself according to your taste. I hope Sir C & Mary will be here at Xmas.

Y^r affec^t
Ilchester
