Sunday Night

My Dear Henry

This is to invite you here de la part des Maîtres ² – Come whenever you like – The Duke ³ says you can make the Tour of the Lake if you wish it & be landed at Balmaha at 4 – but the people can tell you that better. Caroline ⁴ went to bed the moment she came – and has seen the Family Esculapius ⁵ – who has given her a sudorific. ⁶ Tomorrow I hope she will be better
