London
19 Feb. 1845
My Dear Mother
The Carpet is laid down in the little drawing room, and looks sad and faded. Caroline 1 is expected here Thursday afternoon – I was going to Brighton last night, then put it off till this morning, and now this morning I have things to do that make it inconvenient –
I return to Lacock next Monday. London is very dark and foggy: and perhaps I shall return sooner than Monday
Your affte
Henry
