My dear Henry

M^r Menteath asked me to forward to you today a Leamington Newspaper which gives a report of 2 lectures which he thinks may interest you – one on explorations in Moab (the others I don’t know, the subject of) – When you have looked at the Paper you are requested to return it to him, directed to Entryhill house. I wish you had proved a better Prophet about the Strike in South Wales – you see the difficulty has not been got over – and I am inclined to think that a failure in such attempts at a settlement only widens the breach – Will you please give the enclosed to Gee? It is merely a message to send back on Saturday the new shirt that requires marking –

Did you ever see a more rapid disappearance of a rather deep snow? I am glad it is gone, as far as my own feeling is concerned, for I have a particular aversion to snow – it makes me always feel unwell – but the people who have land about Bath say that it would have done them much good by laying on the ground some time –

Your affectionate
Constance
