Thursday Night

My Dear Henry

Emma ¹ is going up to London tomorrow morning for a few hours & returns to dress me for dinner – how very convenient! Time & Space are annihilated. I wish you would send me N^o’s 3 & 4 of the “Pencil of Nature” ² by her. N^o 1. came very safe the Evening you went away, & has been duly conveyed to Lord Haddo who takes a great interest in the Art, he himself drawing very well.³

I certainly think my sejour here has been of immense use in diffusing an acquaintance with the Subject. The D. of D. ⁴ is become one of your greatest puffers

Suppose you come down on Saturday & stay till Monday

Aff^ly y^rs

To day was very sunny on purpose because Nicole went last night ⁵
