Letter Content
GHL to Edward F. S. Pigott, Ilfracombe, [24 June 1856]
MS: Mr. Gordon N. Ray.
Runnymede Villa | Ilfracombe | Thursday.
Dear Pigott
Your charming letter deserves a long one but I have nothing to fill it with except zoology; which will keep! You seem to have enjoyed your trip very much!
I write at once because I don't want to miss you and it is probable I shall unless this makes a change in your plans. We leave this on the 26 for Tenby. Can't you run over there from Falmouth? You can find out our address at the Post Office or the principal Inn at the bar of which I will leave it.
Can't say much for my health but hope Tenby and idleness will do some good. I do hope and pray you can run in upon us at Tenby. Meanwhile, Believe me
Ever faithfully
G. H. L.
