Kensington Gravel Pits. April 28th My dear Sir
Mr Klingemann brought us your packet on Thursday last, & I am sure if the 2nd of April was an agreeable day to you, you made the 24th doubly so to us. The Overture was received with acclamation. We have heard it five times this spring, & Sophy had remembered enough to give us very often a sketch of it but to have it all before us was indeed a great delight. I am very much obliged to you for the ‘Songs’ . The second is our great favourite. It is very difficult but I think Sophy will conquer it. She thinks it must have been written with a particular remembrance of her deficiences, for she tells me it contains all that is most difficult to her in Pianoforte playing. She & Mary beg me to thank you again & again for the Overture which is if possible a greater favourite than ‘Fingal’ . Fanny is thankful for the popular Songs but waits impatiently for the drawing which she will prize still more.
I am going tomorrow, to begin a copy of my husband’s English Motett for you. It will be a very great pleasure to me to make it for you, & more particularly as I am persuaded you will like the composition. The words are excellent – (our collect for the Sunday after Ascension Day) & Mr Klingemann has kindly translated them into German & with such a wonderful command of words as Fanny says, that there is scarcely any alteration in the music necessary. He will write the German in the first Canto part which he thinks will be sufficient. I wish you may feel disposed to try it at Dusseldorf. The latin one, Mr Horsley hopes to send you also, when he can get it copied. They will probably both go together. I often think of our last five minutes conversation before we parted last year at Apsley House, but I much fear those bright prospects can never be realized. May & June are two Months of such importance to a London teacher, that in common prudence he can hardly absent himself at that time – however, I will still hope a little.
We have seen Mrs Handley several times & like her extremely. She is a charming young woman She has promised to pass a an with us when we are to have some Music & among the rest your Ottetto which appears as much liked by her as by ourselves. She has been ill & is going to Germany in a few weeks for two or three months – They talk of paying you a Morning call on their way up the Rhine.
Elizabeth Horsley
I must take the pen from Mama for one moment to tell you some news of the Gardens. The improvements are proceeding at a snail’s pace (as is the way with all Government concerns) & among other things they have drained out the black pond – and have filled it up by popping the Mount into it, so when you take another walk in with us you will miss two of their most romantic features. Pray send my drawing very soon I have half finished one of Holland House for you.

L. “I cannot make out the ”
A We are very sorry.
L “For the other characters are Persian
A They are.
L “And their meaning is, (if I am not mistaken) an Herrn Musicdirector of something like this. ”
A. Excuse the liberty, but we must tell you that you are quite mistaken. Will you guess again?
April the 28th Frances Arabella Horsley
Fanny interrupted me in the middle of what I had to say of the Handleys. I like him much better than I expected. He is very goodnatured & amusing & seems devoted to his young wife. I am very impatient to hear her play. Every one is so pleased & astonished. – Mr Neate is just come to England for a few months. He dined here yesterday & made particular enquiry after you. – You must be prepared to run a race with your little Godson next year. He is known such a fine strong little fellow. We are a ll truly sorry not to see you this year but still I think your decision a wise one. I do not think the Festival will offer any novelty to tempt you. I can only afford myself one performance which will certainly be Israel in Egypt.
Mr Horsley desires me to give you his kindest regards & thanks for your long note. He hopes, with the Motetes to send you a very long letter in return & meanwhile tells me to thank you for the volume of Bach to which he has even yet done. He is very much occupied & more fagged by business than I like to see him, but he says he will make time to write to you. Your Dusseldorf life is a very enviable one busy as it is, & the but proof is the departure of all your miserable feelings – Pray do not let them come back again.
You will be frightened & think that your kind letter to me has brought on the misery of a correspondent, but this requires no answer & I have been led on to trouble you with three times as much as I intended. You will excuse it I am sure & believe me dear Sir.
Yours most sincerely EH Horsley
All my party send their but remembrances John is busy & is painting constantly since the Academy closed. His visit to Paris is postponed for this year. Sophy is more enthusiastic than he about music, but I must have done or I think you will suppose me turned into one of the “My Tom“
