TALBOT2544

My dear Henry,

A gentleman is to bring a Watch for me tomorrow or next Day Edward ¹ must take it to you as soon as it arrives If it comes in in a case un=pack it & keep it wound up till you come & bring it with you & Perhaps Constance ² will be kind enough to take charge of winding to save you the Trouble - & pray tell her how pleased my sister was with her & how much she hopes to see her at Hammersmith ³ -

Your mother ⁴ is better today but the Easterly wind, is too much for any body. Horatia ⁵ is rheumatic with it - & M^rs Moore ⁶ is à l'agonie ⁷ with a pain in the Face which delays their last visit to us - They are to have been here tomorrow - I am bothered with Valletorts ⁸ commission about his Horse which he wants sent directly instead of waiting to confirm with me - & I do not know who to send, & Pullen ⁹ can-not read English let alone French. However it will not be my Fault If any thing happens - Brougham ¹⁰ might at least have been civil to the Bishops when he intends to show them.

V. Afft.

PS.
I want Horatia to have the accompanying Note ¹¹ tomorrow if not inconvenient
