My dear Henry

I am so hunted for time today, that I have only just eno’ to tell you that we are going to Pentillie Castle, 6 miles off, on Thursday next, for 2 days – so shall be quite ready to receive you on Saturday next the 13^th & shall be delighted if you will come up that day, by Steamer – w^h leaves North Corner, (at the West End of Devonport) at, 4 o’clock or ½ past 4. If the weather is wet, you can take a carriage & pair f^m R^t Hotel Devonport but Steamer only cost 6^d – & Horses, I suppose, 25^s/ּ or more. Try & bring Rosamond. It w^d be so nice. I don’t advise Amandier, much as I sh^d like to see her –

If you write to Pentillie direct
Pentillie Castle Saltash

if here –
Calstock Tavistock.

Love to all –

Y^r aff^te Sister
Caroline
