My dear Henry,

I am pleased that you approve of my taking the children ¹ home on Thursday. –

There is nothing further for me to settle – but I shall expect instructions from you for my guidance on Friday. I shall expect to hear whether you with me to come by an early or a late train to Steventon. – & also where I must enquire for you at Oxford. – Price ² will be my escort, & I shall of course take her with me inside the Coach at from Steventon to Oxford. I do not think I have lost any of your letters. – I have received four ³ – the 2^d dated July 14^th was addressed ‘ Marle Hill’ ⁴ simply and contained the important information that you had written to Carey ⁵ –

Your aff^te
Constance
