Janry 3d 1825

My dear Miss Henerietta

As I have just returned from school I have not had an opportunity before of writing to tell you how much obliged I was to you for the beautiful box you were so very kind as to send me[.] I received it quite safe and I must take the greatest care of it, as it is of so very delicate a texture. I was very sorry on my arrival at Fenham to find dear Mrs Clarke had suffered so much <fr>om an inflammation in her ey<e> but <I> am very happy to say that it is a great deal better since I came home. I have had a full account from Arabella and Louisa of your beautiful cottage which I should be delighted to see. There is here just built a very pretty greenhouse near the shrubbery on the south side of the House when full of plants it will look beautiful. Arabella and Louisa send their best love to you all. I remain dear Miss Henerrietta

Your affectionate

Selina Graham
