My dear Father

We <1> shall not be able to come to Lacock but if you will be so good as to tell me where you are to be found in London, I on Wednesday I will come & see you for I shall be there allmost all day. I am very much obliged to you for the engravings which were very much admired. Yesterday we went to see the rock of Cashel <2> a ruin half Cathedral & half Castle the finest in Ireland. Close to the foot of the rock are 2 other ruins of Abbeys. The place <3> is one of the dirtiest of Irish towns.

Your Affectionate Son
Charles Henry Talbot
