It was very good news about Miss Green nourishing herself up a little
6: & finding benefit from a more stimulating diet. You won’t feel
7: really better till you get away to Cape Town. We I have moved into the
8: house & am slowly getting things straight. My help is a Matabelie boy
9: from Bulawayo: a very sweet fellow, but so stupid & child-like. I like
10: him very much. Our larks are all full grown & flown. Good bye. When
11: the rest time comes I’m going to think & write.
