Dear Talbot

I have not been well or I should before this have taken my chance of finding you at home at Laycock – this morning is so tempting that I certainly will in the middle of the day, & as Lord Somers <1> is staying with me (by the way one of the best of Photographers as perhaps you know) shall make him ride over with me – I write a line because if you should have occasion to go out, & I hope you will not stay at home on my account, will you leave word that I may shew him the hall & cloisters –

Yrs affectly
Lansdowne
