My dear Henry

Hearing you are really thinking of Glamorganshire once more I must recommend to your notice a very pretty place on the Sea Shore it is called Porthmerry and possesses some of the perfections you require it is about 7 or 8 miles from Cardiff I should think close to Barry Island, it is really a lovely retired spot, and M^r Romilly ¹ built a house there a few years ago which I have never seen but Charlotte ² has been to visit there and says it is a nice house but not a pretty one. I only guess that M^r R. would let it, because he is in some Office now & I hear he cannot spend more than two months out of London if that is the case his house must now be quite useless I should think. Charlotte can give you some account of it if you like & I daresay you could meet with some friend who could ask M^r Romilly if he meant to let it, there are many other houses to be let but none in a more beautiful spot I really believe. –
