My Dear Henry
delicious weather for Brighton! blowy & wavy – so I hope you are there, but you are so ubiquitarian that it is impossible to guess whether you put your evanescent intentions into execution or not. Constance <1> set off to Clifton late this afternoon her direction is No 3 Paragon.
We have changed our mind about Brighton Charlton – not having time – as I think Horatia <2> really will go to Spain, I hope these equinoctial gales will spend themselves before that
