My dear Henry

Marian ¹ wrote me some further particulars of the Governess yesterday – greatly in her favor –– but her expectations are much too high – 80 or 100 guineas! – and yet she does not profess to teach music in perfection, or any foreign language but her own! – I have written to tell Marian that she won’t do for us – which she thought also, though she did not say it of her own head. – Lady Elisabeth ² is positively going to set off tomorrow, & hopes you will write to her at Mount Edgcumbe ³ – I do hope it won’t pour as it did this morning. How fine yesterday was! – I had so much spare time at Bath that I took a walk in the Park – & had a very prosperous shopping – I wish very much you would contrive time to call on M^rs Nicholl ⁴ – she quite grieves about never seeing you & fancies you are grown less fond of her than formerly – You should give yourself a little pleasure in the midst of business to prevent its oppressing you – I want extremely to know whether London has done you any good. Lady Elisabeth continues to gain strength –

Your affectionate
Constance –
