My dear Henry

I mentioned your wish to Lord M^t Edgcumbe, ¹ & he agrees to pay part of the sum on the 1^st May – If you will tell me who is your Banker, we will cause £200 to be paid into his hands – Pray tell me if the whole sum is £^s or G^s –?

It is an unusual thing as I told you, & there is never with us either a superabundance of cash – but I suppose £200 will do for the present.

Pray wish Ela ² many happy returns of her Birthday – I left a little offering with her which I suppose she shewed you – & which I think will be useful. Do you all go to Laycock Tuesday? or do you stay behind?

Y^r aff^te
Caroline

My blue Shawl has been greatly admired –
