I am very sorry to be obliged to write so difficiently to you to what I, and all of usHorsley, Familie von → William H. had expected, I am sure you will truly regret the cause which has necessarily changed all our summer plans.

It is a very great disappointment to her, but I trust that next year nothing may happen to prevent her visiting for some months, when she may return with CharlesHorsley, Charles Edward (1822-1876). I am still very weak from the effects of my bad illness in the winter, & I am going in a few days to BrightonBrightonGroßbritannien for a fortnight, which always sets me up.
