Lacock Abbey
Friday –

My dear Henry

I have received your letter & will be sure to send the carriage to meet you tomorrow evening – I have sent a message to M^r Gale¹ about the scheme of the Bathroom² & shall hope to get an answer from him tomorrow, but he is unaccountably slow. I am very glad that you think more favorably about improving the Library and shall be very pleased to talk it over with you some day soon – I hope it may not prove such an anxious or difficult undertaking as you seemed to anticipate –

I had read the debate on M^r Horsman’s³ motion with much interest – I am glad he brought it forward – but is it possible that the matter can rest there?

Today our Times has failed – perhaps it may come tomorrow –

Y^r affectionate
Constance.
