My Dear Henry
I Wish you to write to me & tell me what you think of your illness, & whether you wish for anything. I wish I could go & see you at Easter as you seem to be very happy by your account of yourself. That Fête 1 you describe I should like to have seen. How do Pyramus & Thisbe 2 go on? Caroline 3 has not been well. She looks at your picture every day & calls it the “other Henry” –
There were riots here last night on account of Sir Francis Burdett 4 being sent to the Tower. I suppose you are very peaceable at Rotting Dean 5, & do not think much about politics.
Yrs affly
