4Just now I have got your letter posted this morning. You have been at
5the hospital all day. London seems such a long way off. How are you?
6It begins to seem as if it were time to see you; I can’t yet teach
7myself to understand that weeks must pass before I see the brown hat &
8that little red neck tie.

10I am getting better. The Doctor I have is Penhall. He seems to
11understand my case & does me good. I have never had him before. I am
12going to get up tomorrow. I haven’t read I haven’t sat up since I came
13here, my boxes are all just as you packed them. But this afternoon I
14was much better I wrote to my brother. I will tell you what he says.

16How was Miss Jones? I am in such a funny kind of dream, Henry.

18As I think this doctor is clever Please As soon as he sounded me he
19said “You have bronchitis now but you have had asthma a great many
20years.” & with out asking many questions he seemed to know just what
21was the matter with me. I shall be glad when I can go & have a walk by
22my old sea. I could see a bit through the window this morning with the
23sunshining on it, it looked so beautiful. I will send you old
24Chapman’s letter to read. Give my love to our Louie. How I would have
25liked to come to Annerly a little; but you know I couldn’t. Now I will
26try to go to sleep. Don’t be one ^tiny^ bit anxious about me. It’s so
27much easier & nicer to be really ill like this, than to be fighting
28against it & trying to keep up. Did you tell Mrs. Hinton why I didn’t
29call. unreadable Good night
