My Dear Henry

I do not know Whether you intended our horses to meet you, but Wednesday and Thursday they cannot for reasons that Shall be explained. M^r Awdry ¹ is here & told me that his attention had some time ago been called to the roofing over the North Gallery, which is in a bad State & has not been repaired for 70 years, but What Struck me was the extreme concern of his Manner as if it had been his own. Lord V ² – has a severe attack of the Gout
