Dear Henry

I came over here this morning to see Caroline ^<1> who arrived yesterday – & she inveigled me into staying tonight here – & tomorrow we are all going to Lacock – where she hopes to meet you Should y She means to be in town Monday – but desires me to say if you wish to stay in town a few days longer you need not turn out of Sackville S^{t <2>} as L^d M^t E. ^<3> will not be there for some days & therefore your room will not be wanted
