TALBOT2827

Tuesday 25 –

My dear Henry,

I am glad to find that you really think of coming home. – I am surprised not to have heard anything yet from Markeaton, ¹ as to whether they ² will come before or after their visit to Moreton. ³ – But as I suppose they are pausing upon some difficulty & as I had promised to inform them whenever there was a probability of your return, I write today to Marian, ⁴ without waiting for an answer to my former letter. – I have said that I really think you will come Saturday & that you will stay about a week, or longer if you can, but that it is very uncertain. – If you feel quite sure of coming when you say perhaps you will write them a line to tell them so. – that is, if you like. –

M^r Feilding ⁵ wishes you would if enquire at Rodwell’s the bookseller Bond St. – (is that how he spells his name?) whether there are any books for him; & if there are, he hopes you will bring them down to Lacock with you, – Pray remember all the other parcels. –

Y^r affec^te
Constance

M^r Feilding is much better, can walk a few steps without crutches, & has been out in the close carriage today. –

Lydia Price ⁶ is to come to me Saturday. –
