It was very good of her to undertake so long a journey & I hope it will do her & Mary good – & I am sure it would to you too, it is so bright & beautiful. Uncle H. & Ste ⁴ are here and the Petrel There are a great many yachts – L^d Anglesea’s ⁵ Pearl Sir W. Gallweys ⁶ Albatross M^r Bentinck’s ⁷ Dream L^d Blandford ⁸s Fair Rosamond & quantities more that enliven the waters. I advise you to come by the new railroad to Teignmouth – & thro’ Torquay to Totness [sic] it is so pretty –

Love to all
