Caro Enrico ¹

Pray bring two Cambric Pocket handkfs & a pair of Gloves I left on the breakfast table the Morning I was coming away. As you stay so long I send you a newspaper pitying anybody in the country ab imo corde ² without one. I wish you had translated the Inscription did you get a billet from <illegible>

Yrs affly

don’t forget to tell M^cphail ³ he is to search always the baskets that go back for Letters from Us.
