4I got here this afternoon at half past six. I think the place will
5suit me. It is very quiet.

7Thank you for your letter.

9We have ?Mon only one post a a day here. So I do not know when you
10will get this.
11
12I am glad your mother & sister did not dislike me. I am very glad I
13went to see them. I can picture them ^your life^ so much better (I
14didn’t change that word I only scratched it out!)
15
16I feel a bit sad this evening, but that is only because the rain is
17beating on the trees outside & the place is strange to me. I think it
18is rather a sad place, but I shall work here.
19
20I have much I could say, but nothing I could write about. Write to me
21when you have nothing better to I do & it doesn’t interfere with
22your work. You have to work for an exam, havenot you?
23
24I feel very grateful to you; you are very good, & very tender, & ^very^
25true. Tomorrow I shall begin my reading & writing & have something
26rational to write about to you.

30If you write to me don’t put Woburn Sands, but just Woburn on the
31letter. I think I shall I give you the full address again because I
32fancy I didn’t give it right & it won’t find me if a letter
33hasn’t the full address
