My dear Henry
I hope you will come & see us this time, after you have safely deposited Charles <1> at Harrow? It would be too bad not to do so. Milord <2> begs me to join in requesting you will.
Please thank Amandier <3> for the sermon – Which I saw came from her by the address – I had heard of it, & will write & thank her – but today I have only time to put you in mind that you have friends still in existence in the far West – most anxious to see you again.
Yrs affly
Caroline
