Dear Henry

I am glad to hear such a comfortable account of Horatia. ¹ Her being able to take a walk was a great improvement.

Yesterday I went to church at All Souls, Langham place where we were married. - I staid in Queen Anne St, ² afterwards & walked with them. - The Dean of Chichester ³ called on my Mother ⁴ after church, & I was delighted to see him, because he l is a great favorite of mine & I had never beheld him since that day.⁵ - poor man! he has been dreadfully ill with a kind of rhumatism [sic] & is only just sufficiently recovered to resume his clerical duties. -

I am going with Laura ⁶ today to see the exhibition of Water colored pictures; & tomorrow I fully intend to drive to Hammersmith.^<7> - I am sorry I have not been able to get there sooner; but different things have prevented me. -

I want you back again sadly, but I do not really see how you will be able to tear yourself away from Lacock. - If they really leave Southampton on the 14^th how shall you contrive to see them again? I suppose in that case you would join them for a day or 2 at Southampton. -

I hope you have remembered to deliver M^rs M Feilding's ⁷ commissions. - though I guess you will not, till the last moment. -

Y^r affec^te
Constance. -
