My dear Henry

With the letter was left a parcel for you from Mrs Traherne, <2> merely leaving word that there was no answer – I will send it by Knott <3> on Saturday –

Lady Hylton <4> sends you a message about flowers – I enclose her letter which I have answered and do not want to keep. – I have said I cannot promise her candidate, having had so many prior applications – I hope you have ordered some copies of the ‘Records of the Past’ <5> – We should like to read it. and I think Charles & Matilda <6> should each have a copy – I dare say it was your intention to so do. –

your affectionate
Constance
