Monday

My dear Henry

I found your letter on arriving here to-day, & it is a great rarity nowadays I am glad you have put off going to London, as we really mean to come Wednesday under Jane’s <2> wing – I wanted to persuade her to rest at Lacock in her way but she wants to get to town that evg I hope sh we shall have as favorable a passage as coming, of course if very stormy we shall not embark

yr af sister
Horatia

The packet sails at 10.

Hy Talbot Ere
