My dear Mrs Buckland

I am very desirous of knowing that our Cambridge philosophy has done you no more harm than my [potion] of the same kind which your Oxford [people?] prepared so well last year and which you took with such infinite grace and alacrity. After your good [?] in coming to see us to see how we succeeded in or [?] I should be very sorry indeed to think that the fumes of our scientific cookery had left any disagreeable impression upon you, either in this effect upon your health or your good opinion of the various cooks who were [concerned?] in the broth that was set before you. If you are quite well I do now know that we have anything to report for people in general seem very well pleased. Sedgwick had intended to go to Leamington as soon as the [?] was over but he is detained from correcting the proofs of his own speech which I have tried to impress upon him in a very reasonable manner for having talked so much as he did. In a few weeks I think it likely that he and I may go and air ourselves upon the [?] patch of Charnwood [?] [?] in our hands. Perhaps Aire may accompany us on his way to Mrs. A's family in Derbyshire in which case I think it is very [?] if we do now strike awe and admiration into the minds of the Leicestershire [?]. We shall not be quite satisfied till we know that you are quite well, so I hope that you will let us have that satisfaction soon. I suppose my [?] Bridgewater has begun to make his calls upon you again. I shall be very glad when he has called so that you and Dr. Buckland come in view

Ever Very Truly Yours

W. Roberts?
Trin Coll
