London Friday 5 Decr/51
My Dear Constance
Such is the avidity of the Public for news that the papers are selling about the streets for a shilling, instead of 5d their usual price. 1 I gave Gaisford 2 some good advice not to travel by night on the French railroads, and I think it was not uncalled for – Already it seems the Electric Telegraph is cut off. Some days ago he sent me the letter he promised, 3 and you shall keep it for me if you like. The post is going so adieu
In haste
Yours affly
Henry
