Friday 4 o’clock

My dear Henry

Horatia ¹ begged I would let you know that I had seen her safe off today at ¼ to 3 – The train was to start at ½ past 3. She was much better, & looked a great deal more flourishing than I expected. I surprised her in bed this morning, by arriving by the 8 o’clock train from Windsor – so I had a nice, long, comfortable chat together. Gran mi! was it not? I am going back for Dinner, & come out of Waiting altogether on Tuesday. I am very sorry to hear such a dim account of some of you – Perhaps this disagreable cold <illegible deletion> will agree better than the pleasant warm weather. – Milord ² has a bad pain in his foot – but has been otherwise very well indeed lately – he has been at the Play, & had Emily Murray ³ to play at chess – great dissipation! Please give Amandier ⁴ the enclosed receipt from Horatia – & tell her I wrote to her yesterday –

Y^rs aff^ly

Caroline
