My dear Henry

We shall be very glad to see you, and Isabella ¹ desires me to say she expects you will pay her a visit too, she is at home but said so in her last letter. –

Christopher & Lady C. ² are I believe at Penrice ³ we heard from them last week they had thoughts of going about cruizing in the Galatea ⁴ & talked of going to Cowes to pay Uncle Harry ⁵ a little visit, however that is at an end of course now. I conclude they will soon be gone from thence & hardly know where to go I daresay. home [sic] is the most natural place I should think. –

Poor Lady George ⁶ wrote to Mamma she seems to feel losing her dashing Stavordale ⁷ very much indeed she gave a tolerable account of the afflicted party, Stephen and Caroline ⁸ were exerting all their fortitude to be of use to their dear Father. –

I am glad to hear your Children are well pray give my love to your Wife & believe me

your aff^ate coz
Mary

We have four of Jane’s little ones here.
