My dear Father,

I believe that I shall get to Lacock some day next week. I have to see the doctor again on Tuesday or Wednesday. He approved of the idea of sea air, but not sea bathing for the present. Both of which I knew –

The weather is hot.

I wrote to Ela ¹ yesterday.

Your affect son
Charles

P.S. I see that the notice of the death of M^r Jenkins at Westminster for whose death we have a pardon to Sir John Talbot, is given in Evelyn’s Pepys’s diary, whereby it appears that it was in the same duel as that between Francis Earl of Shrewsbury and the Duke of Buckingham. I have heard you conjecture this. Perhaps you may have seen the passage.²
