Dear Henry,

Your letter <1> has followed me to Ireland and I consequently cannot give you the very last account of my Father, <2> but when I last heard viz. yesterday, he was better, tho his leg still makes him a complete cripple, and till the wound is healed, he will not be able to get about again. His leg blistered, from a blow he gave it against the coalscuttle, and has refused hitherto to heal, but I hope it has now taken a favourable turn. I am on my way back to England after passing ten days in Ireland. Many thanks for your kind wishes about the boys, and remember me very much to all your family.

Yours affy

Shelburne
