My Dear Henry

I leave this tomorrow with Valletort ¹ & suite - pray do me the kindness to signify in Sackville Street ² that they may expect me on the 11^th or 12^th because having had the Influenza I shall travel leisurely & for change of air. Amandier ³ is very anxious I should see you before you see M. de Bassano ⁴ &c &c all which I believe she wrote to you yesterday. She is in a state of agitation & most anxious you should sign nothing in London because she thinks English Lawyers are not acquainted with French Law & subterfuges. The desire they expressed that you should sign in London makes her think you ought not. If you are at Laycock pray desire Nicole ⁵ to write to London to signify to Sara ⁶ as above. Poor Amandier a eu la fievre toute la Nuit & says qu'elle mourra de Calotype! ⁷ because she is so afraid of your being taken in, il y a si peu de bonne foi en France dès qu'il s'agit d'argent ⁸ -

God bless you
Dearest
I don't like the thoughts of my journey at all
