My Dear Mother

Is it our fault that we see so little of Moore? ¹ You know he hardly will go anywhere – it is not for want of pressing –

I forgot to tell you I took upon me to send another copy of the P. of N. ² in your name to Tom M. ³ – for I concluded that G.M. ⁴ must have made a mistake –. It does not much signify, for the copy which went to Dover was extremely well received, and gave great pleasure.

I went to Brighton Saturday and staid there Sunday which was a splendid day, Brighton in all its glory, the sea raging, the North West Wind blowing keenly, and the Sun shining. Monday was stormy but not at all unpleasant – I returned to Town in the evening, vaguer à mes affaires. ⁵

Your aff^te

Henry
