My dear Henry

We were very pleased to hear so quickly of your having performed the journey to London safely & pleasantly. Charles ² writes that he thinks of leaving Dabton ³ Monday or Tuesday – breaking the journey at Chester – and proposing to pass a day night with us here before going on to Lacock.

Weather not very good in Scotland – giving them colds at Dabton. A budget of letters forwarded from Lacock today – some of them for me – two for you – That ones with the stamp ‘Bank of Scotland’ I keep till your return, as doubtless you will wish me to compare the entries with my own memorandum of the cheques drawn by me. The others I enclose –

We had a very successful afternoon party today. Your especial friends, (M^r Menteath & M^r Calvert Jones) ⁴ lamented your absence particularly. –

Your affectionate
Constance
