Leamington

July 23^d 1845

My Dear Mother

This is already the second letter I have written to you, and my tour only began yesterday.

Today I have been to see Warwick Castle and Kenilworth Castle.

I never saw W. Castle before, except a distant view.

I was much pleased with the Warwick Vase, ^<1> which is placed in a greenhouse looking down upon Shakspeare’s River Avon –

The weather is dull and dark –

Yours aff^ly

Henry

Direct to York
