My dear Henry

I am very anxious to write to Aunt Lily ¹, can you tell me what is her address?

My object is to advertise her of my intended marriage with Lady C Butler ² resolved upon principally at her suggestion and which she ought therefore to hear of from me. When you married I was a trustee to your settlement on condition of your doing as much for me on occasion, and I now put it in your power to redeem your pledge.

I do not wish this mentioned, though perhaps it is no news, but you will oblige me by not speaking of it to anybody.

Ever your faithfully
C R M Talbot

Nov. 27 1835.

P.S. Is the Devizes man our Harrow friend ‘Squirt’? ³
