Summary
Concerning his visit to Petworth; saying "...we shall be extremely happy to have the pleasure of your company at Petworth at any time when it may be convenient to you. There is a very good warm bath in the house which at Andre's say he can prepare with the same salts as the Sea water in which you may try the effect of an artificial Sea Bath without any trouble or danger of dirty water & I assure you that nothing can give me greater pleasure than to see you here."
