My dear Henry

M^r F. ^<1> having told you about Horatia ^<2> I have only to say that I will certainly write again tomorrow to tell you how she is.

M^r Montgomerie ^<3> wants to be allowed to sleep two nights in Sackville S^{t <4>} to get his Passport, but I have advised him strongly not to exceed that time. There is no time to write after your answer, so I have given him leave as he cannot be in your way for so short a time - He may have M^r F's bed & be quite out of y^r way -

W. H. Fox Talbot Esq^r M.P.
31. Sackville S^t
London
