8 July 1848

My dear Sir,

I have been to Burgh Castle all the morning, & had intended calling upon you to take leave, after dinner–but I was informed that two friends had been here, & stated their intention of looking in this evening, so that I could not get out– Allow me to thank you very sincerely for the kindness & hospitality we have received & to say how much pleasure we should receive at finding any of your family under our roof at Hitcham– You were quite at liberty to have kept the whole of the letters left for your inspection, & I am only too happy to think that you have found some of them worthy a place among your collection’s– I shall take care to put bye any I may receive from persons of whom I may fancy you would like autograph letters, & shall take opportunities of letting you see them & selecting from them– Many thanks also for your kind invitation– & should it please God that we have opportunity of again meeting, I can assure you it will afford myself the greatest pleasure– With our united regards to Mrs & Miss Turner

Believe me | very sincerely yours | J S Henslow
