My dear Henry

Mama ¹ desires me to say that one Letter to my Aunt franked by L^d Lansdowne ² has been forwarded to the Post Office Brighton.

I enclose a letter from William ³ which you may perhaps like to see tho’ it is merely botanical & not nearly as entertaining as usual. – You need not return it. –

Many thanks for your note which was exactly what I have been waiting know [to]⁴ & I could not tell where to direct a letter of enquiry to you.

All the House is dressed up with Evergreens, all over the doors, & fireplaces, & the Singers are singing under the windows at this moment – I wish you were here to hear them.

Your Aff Cousin
Harriot Frampton
