Thomas’s Hotel ^<1>

Monday 12^th Sept^r –

My dear Henry

I have just heard f^m the Baroness ^<2> that if I am at Windsor Friday or Saturday it will do – I therefore write one line in g^t haste to say that I believe I have made up my mind to set off tomorrow morn^g for dear Laycock Abbey; & thence, leaving Charlie, ^<3> next day to school near Gloucester – So expect me, only don’t be disappointed if I am prevented coming –

Y^rs very aff^y

Caroline

Got you my packet yesterday?
