3 Thanks so much for your wire. Cron can’t leave till the 2nd he says,
4& I don’t like him to be here alone with no one to do the little I
5can. So we shan’t be leaving till then: & perhaps I shall get better
6by that time & not need the change. I’ll wire to you when we are
7really ready to start if we do. I sometimes think I must have a kind
8of chronic fever, that keeps on week after week. I don’t get any
9better.
