My dear Mrs Onslow

Very many thanks for your
welcome letter of 20th Oct.

I hope you will be able
soon to welcome at his
ancestral hearth the new
scion of his house, of which
he will be the first of the
fourth generation to gaze
on the landscape which I
have done something to
make historic. My best
regards to his father and
mother, and to all your
kith and kin. I had
a brief but pleasant letter
