My dear Henry

I am glad my packet of letters ¹ are ready and it would have been nice to have sent them by Ela ² to Penllergare, ³ whence I could have fetched them easily – but if you send them directed here to be left at St Fagans station I think they will come all right I shall be from home early in September but should be very glad to see Charles ⁴ here when I come back – I dare say the 10^th or 11^th Sept would suit me & I hope suit him – We have some fine days now but too hot for me to feel up to any exertions & I am very glad to have somebody to read to me while I work which is a very pleasant way of getting through the hot sunny afternoons – the nights & mornings have been wet more or less so we have hot-bed weather – I have M^r & M^rs H Johnstone ⁵ now & Miss Fitzgerald whose mother was a Grady – also a Glamorganshire friend Miss Edmondes – she is very musical and plays Beethoven much to my satisfaction – My garden is still infested with rabbits & mice so I have not much satisfaction there but the wood is very pleasant & pretty – Give my love to M^rs Talbot & Rosamon ⁶d – I am just doing a sketch for my drawing club of “running water” we have had more than one of Reflections & lakes & sea. –

Yours aff^ly

Charlotte L Traherne
