Weymouth
Tuesday –

My dear Henry

Thanks for the 2^d half of the cheque. – You must come here for fine weather – we have had only sunshine throughout yesterday & again this morning till near 2 o’clock. – what are your plans when Lady Elisabeth ¹ leaves for Lacock on Saturday? – Thanks for the pleasant news of Caroline ² & her party – Is L^d M^t Edgcumbe ³ now well enough to do without any doctor? – It was reported here yesterday that the Tower of London had been set on fire & the whole of the arms &c destroyed. ⁴ – This can scarcely be true as you say nothing about it – and I sincerely hope that I rightly interpret your silence – for what a shocking thing it would be! –

I hope you will give me the earliest intelligence of the birth of the Prince of Wales ⁵ – as I shall not know it soon enough by the Papers – after you have read them in London –

Your affectionate
Constance.
