Dear Henry

I am very sorry not to have been Able to see you or M^rs Talbot ¹ while you have been in town<.> Caroline’s ² has been a most alarming & sudden attack as she was quite well the day we left your house & was taken ill the same evening & has been delirious ever since until to day but I hope now the worst is past, but I fear it will be many days before she can leave her bed – Many thanks for the offer of your house I think I ought to make you dispenses for hiring My rooms but as I had made my arrangements here as soon as we came & Knew you must let <illegible deletion> yr servant know before you came I thought there was no danger of our clashing<.> With kind remembrance to M^rs Talbot believe me

Y^rs Sincerely

H P G

Henry F. Talbot Esq^re
