Monday –

My dear Henry

I was expecting Lady Elisabeth ¹ today – but an express from Bowood ² brought the accustomed intelligence of a put off – She had a cold when she went there on Friday, but reports herself so much better for the change of air – I hope you also are much better for Brighton. – The Trahernes ³ – are coming on Wednesday & Lady Elisabeth proposed to persuade M^r & M^rs Moore⁴ to meet them, but I don’t know whether she succeeded.

The Moores were at Bowood on Saturday. –

I had a very nice letter from Lady Carnarvon ⁵ yesterday but she is not a Subscriber. They are in London & Lord C. ⁶ has been so ill as to cause her great uneasiness –
