My dear Henry

I think I have nothing to add to what Horatia ¹ has already written – except that the Pope ² has been heard of at Palò, half way to Civita V^a. There seemed this morn^g to have been a notion that the Palaces (Papal) w^d have been attacked – & extra troops were placed on duty – but nothing of the kind has taken place – & everything is as quiet as possible. the new Ministers, in a Proclamⁿ announcing the Pope’s departure, take on themselves the responsibility of maintaining order – the Troops are in Barracks, & the Civici ready to act if called upon. I am glad the poor dear Pope is safe – but wish he was in an English vessel. He has left a short letter, recommend^g merely order, & that care sh^d be taken of his servant, &c. – I hope Amandier ³ rec^d my letter of yesterday, headed by a view of the Campidoglio. – We are all well – M^r Temple ⁴ is here, & goes tomorrow to Naples. Jane &c ⁵ are well –

Addo <sic> – love to all –
y^r aff^te Sister
