Venice. Decr 4th 1819
My dearest Augusta—

The enclosed letter is from Douglas Kinnaird. You can send it to Ly B & hear what she says. If they—that is the trustees—approve, I can have no objection. I wish you too to express your own opinion—as, in case of my not marrying again & having a son—you & yours must eventually be my heirs according to my Will, made 5 years ago, since the marriage.

You need not answer to this place, as I expect to be in or near England by the new year. We propose setting out in a few days.

I wrote to you a long letter about ten days ago
