My dear Henry
As your last letter was dated from Lacock I shall send Mary’s <2> there – she has sent it to me to direct. I am happy to say we have a good report to send of dear Thereza <3> –
The severe attack of pain <4> has left her weak, but as Summer comes on I trust She will now soon, be able to leave London & then I doubt not we shall have her like herself again – I suppose you will soon have your family with you, if they are not already at home – Should you be at all considering your plans for after the wedding, <5> which must, doubtless, now, be occupying all your thoughts, I hope you will think of coming into Glamorganshire where you will find us – I hope – and where we should be delighted that you should pay us a long visit.
Believe me with every kind wish, your ever affte cousin
Emma Llewelyn
