My dear Henry

The Bank of Scotland’s account was not left with me; I had it only a few minutes in my hands – and I restored it to you when I gave you the remaining cheques, and we compared them together and verified the entry – I dare say you will still find the account along with the cheques wherever they may be –

I am glad that Charles put in an appearance on your arrival yesterday – and it was indeed fortunate that you had such pleasant bright weather – for what a sad contrast today presents! – A regular storm, and a very cold one – Another nice letter from Monie today – she had actually been to the Bethnal Green Museum – All the Party as wishful to see it as she was herself – and the time occupied in getting there was under one hour – whereas it had been reported to take 2 hours. The day was fine, and each one was pleased – but of course they could not do more than take a cursory glance at most part of it. She keeps to her intention of returning to Bath on Monday. Ela was delighted to hear that you planted her horse chesnuts.

Your affectionate
Constance.
