File HTC/2/31 - Letter from Henry Thomas Colebrooke to Lady Smith (nee Belinda Sutherland Colebrooke), 1 November 1823

Letter from Henry Thomas Colebrooke to Lady Smith (nee Belinda Sutherland Colebrooke). He writes that he is glad to hear they have arrived safely despite the accident on the way. Mr Wilkin has brought Sir Charles' picture which is a good likeness but too large a scale. He is not surprised to hear of her tiring of Tunbridge Wells - though the neighbourhood is beautiful there is nothing else attractive. His boys have all scattered in their various directions. Colebrooke has arranged with Alexander Johnston and [Schligil] for John and his fellow pupil to go in the Spring. He asks to be remembered to Sir Charles who he now considers as another son as she is a daughter to him. Handwritten, dated 1 November 1823.
