My dear Henry

I received this morning a letter from Amandier ² dated Turin 11^th April - She does not mention Gwynne, ³ & as they only staid two days at Genoa, I suppose she had recovered - they had been 5 or 6 days at Turin in miserable weather, waiting till the M^t Cenis should be just passable - I hope they will have had a little patience & common prudence however, as it seems Avalanches were apprehended from the melting of the snow - but whenever people are ennuyés ⁴ at a place, which I judge was the case from the tone of the letter, they are in such a desperate hurry to leave it - Whenever you hear again from them let me know -

I hope you got my last letter, & have resolved upon coming here from Southampton - Best love to Constance ⁵ Has M^r M. ⁶ appeared yet?

Y^rs aff^ly

Caroline
