London

Dearest Love,
I told you that perhaps I should write tonight so you will not be surprised –  Mrs Henry would be much obliged if you would not mention when you see the Charles’s that you have had Mrs C’s letter to Mrs Henry about your brother. It is a matter of small significance but our friends in Devonshire Place are rather particular. The dear children are well, & no trouble - Set your heart at rest about me for my exertions will be small - Eliza can manage them both in the pony chaise before breakfast and Wray [?] will walk with them after. The park awaits

Love to dear Caroline

Yrs ever, ever

C.B

Mrs King would like 6 pounds arrow root 1/6 if no trouble
