My dear Henry.

It is so long since I have heard from you that I think you must have forgotten such a person exists – I am on my way farther North, & your mother ² is as you know in Town, so unless you write me word I shall live (which I do not at all like) in total ignorance of your plans & movements. I saw M^r Barnes ³ at Sprotbrough ⁴ & M^rs Barnes also. They both enquired very kindly after you & hoped you would call at Castleford ⁵ whenever you came that way. I have had some tolerable partridge shooting at Sprotbro’ & here – in two or three days I proceed to Lowther – Copley ⁶ joins me on the 8^th & we go together to make some visits & to Glasgow & Edinburgh – early in November I shall call on your honor at Cambridge. Your mother writes me word you want money – you may draw for what you want only let me know the exact amount of what you have drawn for and do. as I am moving about you must direct to Sackville S^{t 7} Remember me most kindly to all at Penrice ⁸

& Believe me Y^r most Aff Friend
