          that I shall be disappointed. What charming Unio's 
you have sent me! They came in the most perfect 
order & have moreover enabled me to remedy or very 
nearly so all the mischief done by [T. Einki?], on a
former occasion. I shall pass about a fortnight 
in Norfolk & Suffolk, about 10 days in & about 
London & then take the steam-boat for Scotland,
when I shall look out for a vessel by

which I may send you something. I left my family
all quite well & I trust you & yours are so. We often
speak of you & of the gratifying visit we had from
you. Ever your truly affectionate & faithful 
friend
