Aug 27^th

My dear Henry

I shall be very glad to see Charles ^<2> on the 11^th and am glad you will send the letters – I heard from Miss Neale today who says the Talbots are at Holyhead detained by bad weather in the Lynx – Emily ^<3> has luckily a friend with her, Amy Dillwyn, to keep her company & I dare say they will have better weather soon – we seem to have alternate fine & wet days – Bertha & Olive ^<4> are at Folkestone –

Yours aff^ly
Charlotte L Traherne
