My Dear Henry
We have put off our journey till Sunday when we intend going by the two o’clock train & accompanying Harriet Galwey <1> who is quite a novice in English ways, as so many of them are new since she went away, particularly Stamps which she had no notion of. She will sleep Sunday Night & Monday night at the Abbey, as she has been ill with cholera since she came (which is very prevalent here at present) to rest herself & Thursday Tuesday she proceeds to Wales. She has only one daughter with her
