My dear Talbot –
We found yesterday, on our return from Bath, where we had been passing a couple of days with the Crawfords,2 your very gallant and (what is better) kind & thoughtful remembrance of Mrs Moore’s3 tastes.
You are not surely about to give yourself up to entire solitude at Lacock! We have a dinner and bed here at your service whenever you are good-natured enough to announce your coming.
Ever yours truly
Thomas Moore
H. F. Talbot Esqr
