I am very sorry I cannot come & see you but I am just starting p^r Packet to escort Isabella’s ¹ Girls into Glamorganshire & shall be at Coedriglan ²I hope by two oclock. we hope to have some air when we are on the water. –

I am sorry to hear you have been ill, the heat must retard your regaining your strength I am sure but you have a nice cool house & Garden to saunter about in & I hope you will not have any thing to disturb you. –

We think Sophy ³ must be 40 or very near it (she is older than Robert) Isabella remembers her a great Girl in the year 29. –

My love to all, no time for more today

I am your aff^ate coz
