Friday, 5 o’clock.

I have received your letter & am glad you have avoided strangers coming as we shall be much better alone the little time we shall have to do all we have to do. I was well all yesterday but at night waked every hour till six o’clock, but not uncomfortable, or ill, & in little perspiration. It is therefore better not to go to Panshanger for one Night, as Giles must be put off till Winter. If I want it will see Farqher tomorrow, & if He orders another Dose will take it Sunday night at Brocket & meet you at dinner that day there. Am glad you have done so well. Tell Emily & Ld.

Love to all.
Yrs. Dear Ly. M.
Ever Affectly.
