Lincoln’s Inn <1>
18 June 1859

My dear Sir

I am delighted to learn from You that the wedding <2> went off so satisfactorily –

The deeds <3> are come to hand duly executed and attested every thing seems to have been attended to with great ease and exactness.

I have written to Lord Shelburne <4> for an appointment to attend him – he is at Lansdowne House <5> at present (I believe).

Ever Yours faithfully
J. H. Bolton

Wm H Fox Talbot Esqe
