My dear Henry

I cannot resist the pleasure of sending my warmest congratulations on the birth of your boy. ² I hope M^rs Talbot ³ is going on well & that neither you or [sic] she may have any drawback to your satisfaction, pray write me word soon how she is & also a full description of the Babe – If my Aunt ⁴ is with you pray tell her that I hope she will come here either in going to or leaving Margam ⁵ she will receive a very true welcome & I will try to make her comfortable altho’ from my present crippled state I cannot do all I would. I hope your next visit to our County will not be while we are away next summer it would be very nice if you would bring all your children ⁶ here to see their cousins.

Believe me yours aff^ly
Jane H. Nicholl

I wish you would send me some of your late performances.⁷ I saw some very exquisite ones
