8I had a letter from Nell Van Heerden telling me of her delightful time
9with you. She gave me her London address 104 Ebury Street I wrote to
10her there but the letter is returned to me “Not known at 104 Ebury
11Street.” Could you perhaps send the letter on to her which I enclose
12unreadable find that not fully addressed; if you know her address. I
13had a hope of coming to Oxford myself this summer; but when once I got
14here it seemed difficult to move again. Will you perhaps be visiting
15London during the winter? I should so much like to see you. You have
16two little ones now have you not? I once spent some weeks in the
17summer at
