My dear Henry

I reckon you will get this several hours before you see us & therefore write to say we fully intend to be at L– Abbey on Tuesday as we settled, but what hour I know not, as it is more than 60 miles, but they say a very good road. We found here Brook Greville, M^r & M^rs Paulet Mildmay, ² M^r Grenfell, & the Captain. The Radnors ³ are coming the very day we go. I should like to have staid longer, if it had not been for you & Amandier. ⁴ Pray tell her I received her letter this Morning & should have thought her very foolish if she had not come on when her place was taken & all arrangements made. Probably the change of air will have great effect. Tomorrow we are going to see Stratfield Saye. ⁵ I have been talking over Nice with the Paulet Mildmays, they both say it was about the happiest six months they ever passed.

Adieu

I hope you wont leave home the very next morning
