We do not know whether he is at this moment in Canada, or in the United States, but Lord [Cameron] will write to him + let you know [those] of his should find himself better [?] of you [his ? may take the labours of ? himself to you].
Has [?] the Hon. [Auberon Herbert]. We shall be very glad if you are able to give us [?] the one day what you suggest by Monday Nov. 7th. Please to let him know as soon as you are able to decide whether his [?] expect you, [?] your son + daughter, on that day. We [may] indeed I hope have a chance of [?] Mr[s] Henson before those times, [whether] she is not [?]/ I had heard with [??] of Bishop Dr. [L? ?]
Believe [?]
My dear Bishop
Affectionately yours
