My dear Henry,

Will you have the goodness to take the care of the enclosed for Aunt Lily ¹ & give it to her. We found Charry ² a great deal better & I trust radically so, she has been quite well ever since we came, no headaches or an [sic] thing to put her back. She is delighted with the things you sent her especially with the print of the “forêt vièrge du Brésil,” & she has been studying her book on Lithography with as much attention & diligence as if she was an artist – We are all very well & intended going to see innumerable sights which are to be seen here. We saw the Automatons yesterday by way of a beginning. I hope you will use all your elegance to persuade Aunt Lily to come over to England this spring I shall be sadly disappointed if she does not.

I am my dear Henry your very affectionate cousin
Isabella Talbot
