Dilectissime ²

I was much surprized when I received your letter ³ this morning, to find that you did not mention in it any thing about Burrowes, ⁴ & beg you will let me know by return of post what ensued when he was brought back. I had heard of Alkakenge ⁵ before but do not remember having seen it. Cantania I am not at all acquainted with. This bad weather will spoil your garden, even the purple Hawkweed that is in a snug corner behind the Sunflower. There was a Hurricane here last night. Your Aunt Louisa & Lord Lansdowne ⁶ are going next Month to Sandgate ⁷ & I believe we shall go to Brighton in November. The post town of this place is Tunbridge not Tunbridge Wells, those two places are six miles asunder. Remember that when you direct your next Letter & Believe me
