My Dear Sir,

In consequence of finding that M^r P. Scrope ² will be engaged at the time that I would have been able to pay my visit at Castlecombe, ³ and having caught an exceedingly bad cold which unfits me for every thing, I am obliged to returned [sic] to Scotland as soon as I can; and regret much that I am thus deprived of the pleasure which I anticipated of again finding myself under your hospitable roof. ⁴ With kindest regards to all at Lacock Abbey

I am
My Dear Sir Ever Most Faithfully yrs
