My dear Henry

I do not like to engage anybody for any other body & therefore hope you will write direct to M^rs Scheichelbaur ^<1> naming your own time &c &c as your letter to me is somewhat vague. – She will know exactly when her Husband will be in England which I fancy is expected incontinently. When you come to London you will know where to find us – and Caroline ^<2> will be out of waiting again shortly. –
