Dear Constance

I send you an address to the Derby workpeople ¹ which I picked up at a bookseller’s shop, and I have sent a copy of it also to your mother. ²

The groom came unprovided with saddlebags so that he is unable to take anything to you on his return – Therefore I must send by the coach your parcels (including one from M^rs Dowdeswell)³ or keep them till I come myself. My present idea is to come Saturday week, I should have come this Saturday only several important questions stand for next week upon which I suppose my constituents would not like me to be absent.

I mean to stay a week at Lacock & then return to Town for two weeks & then return to Lacock for Easter ⁴ – I have not however finally made up my mind what would be the best arrangement – I am accablé ⁵ Today with all sorts of things to do. – the more so because I was too tired to do anything yesterday –

Your aff^te
Henry

Je t’envoye mille baisers. ⁶
