TALBOT271

March 13^th –

My dear Henry

I am very glad to hear of dear Lady Elisabeths ¹ safe arrival – and in good health – for I fancied she might have been ailing & therefore put off her journey. I will prepare to receive her on Thursday –

Price ² is going on favorably but very slowly – she occupies the green room which is more cheerful & airy than her own – She is greatly troubled with low spirits & impatience to recover – but that will not bring her on a bit the faster. – Rheumatism & cold still hang upon her – though the bilious attack is subdued – & she is extremely weak –

I certainly think the gates of Somnauth ³ more interesting than the Church of Scotland. –

Y^r aff^te
Constance
