My dear Henry,

Will you be so good as to take this letter to my Aunt, ² I am very sorry I forgot to give it to you before you went or I should not trouble you with it now. I am glad to be able to say that Charlotte ³ continues getting better. I hope she will not have a relapse. We have looked out three or four times for the Comet but though we could see all the stars in Ursa Major at it was too haze [sic] to see any Comet. Two of your seeds are come up one is the Vicia Grassica & I do not know what the other is. They all send their love to you & by you to Harriot & Louisa ⁴ if you should chance to see them & to all Aunts Uncles & Cousins of every description & now having faithfully delivered my message I remain my dear Henry

your very affectionate cousin
I. Catharine Talbot. –
