My Dear Constance

I approve of your staying a week longer at the cottage, and of your travelling scheme. M^r. Brown’s estimate is moderate, but it should be put down in writing and signed by him.

As far as Warrington I cannot suggest any improvement upon your route, but after that, it is a pity that you should go through the uninteresting country of Crewe &c. The great manufacturing town of Wolverhampton is not at all to your taste – The pleasant country lies westward of this and I think would only add one day to your tour. I should suggest Warrington Chester Wrexham Llangollen (which lies a few miles out of the way) Oswestry Shrewsbury Ludlow

I could easily ascertain all the distances in miles from “Paterson’s Road book” – Shall I look for some small road book and send it to you.

Yours aff^ly

Henry
