My dear Henry ¹

M^r F’s ² gout will prevent our leaving town – his foot is swelled so much he cannot get on any kind of Shoe & suffers much pain –

Thursday is now fixed for our going but I am quite sure it will not be before Saturday – D^r Kerrison ³ is our daily visitor

I have this moment received yours with optical illusions & it has decided us to stay till Saturday, as you certainly come on Friday. Indeed I hardly think M^r F. could move before, tho’ he now thinks he could on Thursday. To night there is a Party at Lansdowne House ⁴ & Music at Lady Burghersh’s ⁵
