Dear Henry

I know nothing of Lord Lansdownes <1> movements, or whether he could receive me, but I must give up all idea of going to Bowood <2> this winter. I hope I shall see you here in your way from Penrice, <3> I have some slight notion of going to Town about the meeting of Parliament, but it is very slight. My love to all at Penrice

Believe me Affcly Yrs
