My dear Henry

If I said in my letter yesterday the "1^t week in June" I meant the 1^t week in July. so pray read it so. - After my letter was posted, I could not help fancying I might have made this mistake.

The shoppings I have embarked in, and the having prolonged our stay here in Edinburgh, make it very desirable that you should give me the earliest notice of the renewal of my funds in the Bank of Scotland - As they do not always apprise me of the same. I know this is the usual time for receiving the rents, so it is best to put you in mind.

Rosamond's ² cold has proved a very oppressive one - and she nearly lost her voice from tightness on the Chest. - but I hope a few days will see her much better - and now the weather is so much milder she ought to be getting out of doors.

Matilda ³ & M^lle Amélina ⁴ are both much better and enjoyed a walk today -

Your affectionate

Constance.

I hope Charles ⁵ told you that I am entrusted by the Photograph Society ⁶ with the gold medal wh they presented to you - Mr. Ross ⁷ brought it to me, a day or two after you left Edinburgh -
