My dear Henry

I return you both the welcome letters you sent us to read – Caroline has set out charmingly – & Horatia seems to be getting on as well as possible – M^lle A has written today to Caroline at Frankfort. – I shall wait till she gives another address – She was very good in doing my commission in London & I have received the parcel safely –

I thought Ela appeared brisker yesterday – the weather was mild & pleasant & she went out with M^lle & me in the carriage for a short time – Today we did the same – ending with a little turn in the Nursery garden – but it was much colder though bright – She is more languid again today – but I think the tonics are certainly agreeing with her and I shall hope to see more decided improvement in a short time – D^r W. will call again tomorrow. <illeg> he says he is very sensible & prudent. –

I mean to send <Careass?> to Lacock one day this week to see that everything is comfortable there & to give orders about warming the house for our return on Tuesday.

We saw an Aloe just going out of flower at Claverton.

Your affectionate

Constance.
