My dear Sir,

I have brought here with me a few letters & the drawing of Taylor's Monument, that they may be forwarded to you first convenient opportunity– The plate & Rectory I could not procure, but have borrowed a copy that you may see it & have it copied if you wish– It can be returned at your convenience, as I promised it should be– I find Sir W m. getting on with his shoulder & looking very well– M rs Henslow went to Brighton last week, my 2 Boys are returned to School. I left my youngest daughter Anne at S t Albans yesterday– so there are only F. & L. at Hitcham– I am happy to say Fanny appears to have quite recovered her spirits & general health– I had written thus far when M r Gunn made his appearance & have entrusted the parcel to him–

My kindest regards to all your household | believe me | Ever sincerely yrs | J S Henslow
