London 7 November 1851

My Dear Constance

I have executed your commission with Madame Frederick and send you her receipt. I intend to come home on Monday evening next, and Henneman and M. Ferrier a French artist are coming to the Red Lion the same evening to make photographs of the Abbey the next day. They will want 2 rooms and a sitting room at the inn will you please to send and order them. Pray tell Ela and Rosamond that I was very much pleased with their letters, which gave me a very clear idea of your journey. I think everything seems to have turned out prosperously. I am envious of you all having seen Ludlow Castle, although I think I must have passed through that town in former years, I have no recollection of it.

I hope they have some pretty sketches to show me

Yours aff^ly
Henry
