My dear Henry

After being considerably better yesterday M^r F. ¹ was seized with a spasm at 5 o’clock this Morning which M^r Cutler ² succeeded in removing. – he thinks it was caused by rhumatism [sic] taking hold of the muscle of the Diaphragm. This tho’ not a vital part is near one, & I cannot but be very uneasy. He is in no pain now, but great malaise from fever. You had better not go further from us till you hear again. I will write again tomorrow

Horatia ³ was to have set off tomorrow Morning with Louisa Fitzmaurice ⁴ to the wedding ⁵ at Melbury, ⁶ but She seems so uncomfortable at the thoughts of leaving her father that this scheme is given up. Somebody shall certainly write to you tomorrow
