TALBOT2580

My dear Henry

Will you allow Franklin ¹ to enquire the proper direction for Sir James Grahams ² Brother who is his private secretary – I cannot recollect his Xtian Name – I believe also that he is a Captain in the army – be that as it may the Porter at the Admiralty ³ will know how he should be addressed, & having ascertained that Fact pray direct the enclosed & send it – We go on very comfortably here. Vivian ⁴ comes Monday & the Valletorts ⁵ Thursday or Friday possibly – but he has the Gout, at present they intend passing through London so you will see them – I hope the House is comfortable – & that you have got your Ménage in order – I cannot find Smiths Botany ⁶ in my Catalogue – & suppose it must be yours. – Blunt ⁷ I am not so sure about – till I see it – but it matters little – How many more Days is your debate to last. Tell us a little who spoke well & some House of Commons anecdotes. Kit ⁸ I hear is going quietly to hunt at Melbury ⁹

Goodbye
