Margam.
Dec^r 1855

My dear Henry

I hope that your ladies will not forget their promise to visit Margam, and as they cannot come now, that the leaves will be on the trees when they do come, for this place depends on its trees for its attractions. My plans are to Remain here till after Christmas when I go to Penrice till Parliament meets. At either place I shall be delighted to see you & your son also

Yours most truly
C R M Talbot
