Leamington,
Tuesday evening

My Dear Mother

I set off by the four o’clock train, and got here a few minutes after seven – The distance is 103 miles – The afternoon was foggy and cold.

Kenilworth Castle <1> is not far from here.

I told the Binder to wait upon you tomorrow with 12 copies of the Scotch Views <2>

I think your supper did not require the Bowood <3> fruit, to look admirably.

Your affte
Henry
