TALBOT798

Thursday 14 May 1818

My dear Henry.

We want your assistance very much in deciding what you shall do with yourself during the long vacation – whether we spend the summer in France or in England we sh^d not at any rate leave Town before the 1^st of August There are therefore 2 months of which I conclude you would not like to spend the whole here – what then should you like to do? I am sorry you have failed in making your continental party, for that was a very good plan – our wish of course is that you should be amused without wasting your time. Think on the subject yourself & let me hear from you – James Frampton ¹ is dead at last poor little Fellow after a life of great suffering. it is a blessed release for him – & it cannot but be some consolation to those who survive him, that if it had been possible to keep him in existence, it could only have been in a state of misery.

God bless you my love
Y^r aff^e Friend

Car & Hor ² are at a lodging in the Regents Park enjoying the comparatively pure air & very happy.
