My dear Henry -

If you will ask your Mother ² to open any letter which comes to me from Montgomerie, ³ you will probably get what some intelligence about our Horses. If you decide on buying - Montgomerie w^d have yours taken care of till you can send Giovanni ⁴ for him after you return from Pixton ⁵, & I will write my determination about mine, when I get the letter -

With respect to M^r Fuller & his Hounds it would perhaps be the best way, to send M^r Awdry ⁶ with a civil message. - If you think of anything more for me to do in London let me know - The Fazakerlies ⁷ [sic] come today

GOD bless you
C. F.

Love to all
