My dear Mr Talbot
My Mother received the enclosed in a letter from Mrs Mundy who thought she was at Lacock, & as she is laid up with a cold she desired me to write & enclose the note. My Mother has been unable to return home & has been in Bed for some days with a bad cold she is better today & I hope in a few days she will be down stairs again she was very sorry not to have been able to pay you a visit
Yours sincerely
Lucy Mary Nicholl
