My dear Henry

We arrived here yesterday at 3 o’clock and settled ourselves in the Villa di Londra. The weather is beautiful and as hot as it was at Nice when we first got there, and we have a beautiful view from our windows of the sea, with the port, light-house & shipping. This place looks very gay and animated, & puts me a little in mind of Nice. – I suppose you slept at Susa <1> last night and are now passing Mont-Cenis, when this letter reaches you I hope you will be arrived in safety at Paris. – You cannot think how sorry I was when I saw your calèche turn into another road, & I looked at it as long as I could till the trees hid it. –
