My dear Henry

It was very good of you sending me the correct information about the high tide so quickly – as it enabled me to reassure people’s minds before leaving home. We went to Plymouth last Monday – for a beautiful concert with M^elle Nilssohn ¹ & M^me Trebelli, & next day drove to Maristow on the Tavy – where we paid a visit to Sir Massey & Lady Lopes. ² We left them this afternoon, & are sleeping here – intending to go on tomorrow to Bowood. ³ Do you think you will like us to [illegible deletion] to come to Laycock Abbey in a few days – or not? Write me something as soon as you can.

Are Rosamond & Amandier ⁴ still at Florence? or Pisa?

Y^r aff^te Sister
