My dear Henry

I send two letters which arrived this morning just before Sir C. ^<1> left for the Assizes ^<2> pray write again we were delighted with the Epitaph & elegy. I meant to hear more of the waterfalls & your jour<ney> ^<3> than the Grand Turk remember that. & send us word where we may direct to you after you leave Bangor –

Isabella ^<4> has a cold & sore throat the rest are pretty well. Charry ^<5> goes with Sir C. as far as Merthyr mawr ^<6> & we are still in the same mind as to following her on the 8^th –

All send their love –

I am your aff^ate coz

Mary
