Summary
Telling him that due to unexpected delays they will not be able to get to Coleorton until the first week of November; adding that he hopes they will tell him if the new dates are in any way an inconvenience; explaining that they have had to find a new house for his son John and his wife as the one they had rented was "...pronounced by the medical attendant of the Curwen family much too cold for her health; which is too probable, as it is no less than 500 feet above the level of the sea, to which it is completely exposed, and indeed to all winds;" sending his regards to Lady Beaumont.
