My Dear Henry

Why dont you write to me? I hope you like the French garters I sent you ² as a proof I thought of you in the rue S^te Honoré They are remarkably comfortable & do not gêner ³ the circulation like vulgar English Garters. Horatia ⁴ is quite uneasy at the thought of your hardships as a Cantab. Ce pauvre Henri ⁵ (I heard her say to Caroline ⁶) sera obligé d'étudier toujours. ⁷ What did William's ⁸ parcel contain? Collectanea curiosa ⁹ from Persia? What success have you had à la chasse ¹⁰ this year? tell me all about it, I like to hear of everything that interests you.

How I should like having you with me at Paris! this will one day be our fate I trust. I forget whether I told you of our returning that beautiful road by St Germains & Rouen. Can I send you anything that will contribute to your bien être ¹¹ at Cambridge?

aff^y y^rs

Elisabeth
