My dear Henry

Jane <1> has left us & is gone to Town to prepare for her return to the exiled part of her family who are gone to Genoa to await her arrival. The enclosed grass she raised some time ago & she never saw it go to seed before this year the name is obliterated & she wants to know what it is so I promised to ask you. The accounts from Lucy <2> are good on the whole, and she says the time has passed very pleasantly they can hardly believe that three months have passed since they quitted Italy and now they are going back there again!

I hope you are all enjoying yourselves still at Barrow and that you had fine weather during Horatia’s <3> visit Where are they now?

Mamma <4> is but middling, Jane’s departure has of course saddened us very much tho’ we knew the time would be very short when she came to us, John & Christiana <5> go back again with her.
