My dear Henry

I think that by this time you are probably again at Lacock as when Constance <1> wrote to her Brother <2> from Berne she said that you had left them for England via Paris – Possibly you may have heard that Matilda & Mr Clark <3> are coming to us the first week in November & it has occurred to me that we might perhaps tempt you to pay us a little visit whilst they are here – which would be a very great pleasure to us all. Can you and will you come to us on Friday or Saturday the 8th or 9th November & stay till the 12th when the Clarks are to leave us? – On the 11th we expect Lord & Lady Hylton, <4> and I know how glad Sophy would be to meet you. She seems to be as happy as possible with her new “Mate”! I am anxious to make his acquaintance, as I have never yet met him but Mr Mundy has known him a long time. – Your new Niece is extremely desirous to know you & Noel <5> Equally so to introduce his wife <6> so pray let us have a propitious answer if you possibly can! Mr Mundy desires kindest regards –

Your Affte Cousin
Harriot G Mundy

P.S. We have a beautiful young plant of the Chlerodendron from the Calabar River struck from the Cutting you sent me in May last.
