My Dear Mother

Jack the Giant Killer ^<1> gave great pleasure to a select circle of listeners, and is announced for repetition on some future evening.

I think I shall come to Town Monday to see you before you go – Cannot you put off the bricklayers for a few days? Else I shall be ruined by bills at hotels.

Your aff^te

Henry
