My dear Henry

M^r Montgomerie ² arrived last night from Garboldisham & came here for a short time in the evening - He had had a very fatiguing journey part of which was in his gig in a pouring rain, & had had nothing to eat from 6 in the morning till he got to London. - He seemed altogether fatigued & unwell, & Mamma ³ begged I would write to you to take care of him - We were much touchées with his kind feelings, & his not minding the trouble of taking all that long journey - besides the difficulty &c of finding a remplaçant ⁴ &c - Very different indeed has he behaved to George Finch! ⁵ but he is not a saint! whether that is the cause of his strange conduct, for strange it certainly is in him, I do not know - He ought to have been the first person to offer - particularly as poor Papa ⁶ followed his father to the grave, besides having attended him during his last illness -

Please to take care of L^d V- ⁷ too - he writes me word he was ill in bed all Monday, & is hardly equal to the journey -

Y^r aff^te Sister
Caroline

Mamma is better today -
