Lacock
Jan^ry 10^th 1845

My Dear Mother

I told you I was still at home in a little note which accompanied the Art Union, ¹ but I am afraid you did not see it.

What did you think of the new plan of copying engravings of which they sent us a specimen, which I forwarded to you?

How did the Christening ² go off? What is the second name, besides Leonora? Has Horatia ³ been to see Louisa Frampton? ⁴

I am going this evening to Bath for 2 or 3 days, and then to London. – Direct to Lacock, as usual.

The weather is mild, but foggy and very dark; which has continued a long time. Pray remember me to Traherne & say how sorry I am to have missed them. Harriet ⁵ is gone on a visit to Jane ⁶ at Merthyrmawr, ⁷ which is a sign that Jane feels herself better –

Your aff^te
Henry
