July 25 [18]95

Dear father,

We arrived here last night after a delightful journey thro’ the ____ and I write only to let you know of our well being[.] We expect to be in Cambridge by Monday next Whence I will try to write you a more detailed account of our trip. If you could see a view from this window – of the castle and residences opposite [on the hill] you would say that is excused any amount of enthusiasm[.] With love and best wishes believe me

Affectionately yours,
Charles
