My dearest Papa

I shall see you in three days. I am very sorry to hear that Altham has got a cough[.] The little spot has not gone f[r]om my eye. Aunt Boo says I have grown very much and she has been obliged to let down my frocks. Tell Altham to give my love to Miss Spencer. The night you come, I am going to sit up till you arrive

Your own Mary

Address, in the hand of Charles John Moulton-Barrett: Captain Surtees Cook / Wilton / Taunton / Somersetshire.

Publication: None traced.

Manuscript: Armstrong Browning Library, Altham Archive.
