Dear Henry

I hope you are all comfortable at Lacock – I am here for a few days only as Harrys ¹ being gone to Stinsford ² & Melbury ³ & my not having time at my own disposal makes it rather a waste staying here I mean to return to town as soon as I hear of L^y I ⁴’s being there

I suppose you will have the same account of Aunt Susan ⁵ we have – in case you should not I enclose it ⁶ I am very glad Harry went he would have been sorry to have been called for & not there –

Y^r Aff
W F S

I enclose you two flowers ⁷ I found on the Newport road in the hedges in great quantity –

Is there any truth in the report of Lord Holland succeeding Lord Dudley ⁸
