TALBOT5146

Thursday –

My dear Henry

We are very glad to hear of your safe arrival & we congratulate you on your having travelled with your accustomed fortunate celerity. I wonder how you prosper in your lodging? – you have at least some brighter weather for your operations than you had here of late.

Lady Elisabeth ¹ is quite determined on going back to Sackville Street ² tomorrow – though Horatia ³ is anxious to remain till Saturday, – especially as the weather is become fine –

Why don’t you explain to your correspondent that the name of Your Abbey is not Calke? I wonder his letters find their way at all –

Your aff^te
Constance
