Summary
Inviting her to visit Castle Hill Lodge on the 29th; saying "...this dear Spot is in great Beauty just now and that if you should wish to see it, Sunday next the 29th is the only day on which I foresee that for some time there is a certainty of its being quite at liberty for your wandering over it : but if on that day you would like with any friends to see your once favorite retreat, I will direct both the Houndkeeper and Gardener to attend you at any hour til sunset which you may prefer;" adding, in a postscript, "Pray excuse all blunders, as I write in a hurry just as I am setting off for the House of Lords."
