Dear Talbot

I do not leave this country with my father now probably in time to reach Woodchester while he is there my movements being uncertain - It will therefore be out of my power to do myself the pleasure of accepting your kind invitation to Laycock Abbey -

I remain most faithfully yours
Pixton
E Herbert
