Le 11 Février 1819.
Mon cher Frère,

Comment aimez vous Normanton? <1> nous n’avons pas eu une occasion favorable pour regarder les Etoiles depuis votre départ. Je vous renouvelle, mon cher frère les vœux que mon cœur forme en ce jour pour votre bonheur ainsi que la sincère amitié de

Votre affectionnée petite sœur,
Henriette Horatie Marie.

O! my little brother dear,
Whether you be far or near,
Still the love between us brings
The fresh stream which ever springs
Maman croit que ces lignes sont très mauvaises, néanmoins elle m’a donné permission de vous les envoyer.

W. H. Fox Talbot
Normanton

11 February 1819

My dear Brother,

How do you like Normanton? we have not had a good opportunity to look at the Stars since you left. I renew, my dear brother the wishes formed in my heart on this day for your happiness as well as the sincere friendship of

Your affectionate little sister,
Henriette Horatie Marie.

O! my little brother dear,
Whether you be far or near,
Still the love between us brings
The fresh stream which ever springs
Mama thinks these lines are awful, nevertheless she gave me permission to send you them.

Notes:

1. Normanton, Rutlandshire.
