Dear Henry

I write to tell you I am to be in London tomorrow night to meet Ly I. ¹ & afterwards I believe go to meet Harry ² at Bowood ³ at least after seeing her I mean to propose it to Louisa ⁴ if I find no other plans ready made for me – I hope you will be at Laycock this month pray let me know soon – I have brought a live Dianthus (if it is not dead of seasickness) from the Val di Gondo.
