7 If you don’t find the savage book what you like send it back &
8I’ll send you a nice one about Malays. I’m reading about nothing
9but savages; I don’t care for anything else now. Thank you about the
10sandals. I send my measure, a little large, as it’s better than too
11small. They will be just the thing because I can’t be bothered with
12shoes & stockings there & my feet have got so tender in England that I
13shan’t be able to manage the rocks for some time without something on.

15 I’m very glad about G Adam’s pictures. It will be a great thing if
16he can make any money out of them because then he could give up more
17time to his painting. Dr Brown has just sent Alice a splendid skeleton
18& beautiful books of prints. He is going to pay entirely for her
19education & living & books & all for the next five years. It’s very
20beautiful, & she’s to repay him when her fortune is made. It’s all
21so happy & nice about her.

23 I hope the school gets boys.

25 It was funny your following me about like that for three or four days,
26& there wasn’t any reason or cause for it! I’m so glad its lovely
27at Sheffield. I am Please give greetings to Bob when he comes. I send
28him a book of African poems.

30 I went for a lovely walk to Regent’s Park this afternoon & sat first
31by the lake with the by boats & then among the flowers. I’ve just
32got home. It was so beautiful & restful just sitting there & not
33thinking of anything! It must be very nice bathing in your stream.

35 I’ve taken my passage in the Norham Castle for the 11th of October.
36I’ve got a nice deck cabin.

41I think I would rather the "general public" didn’t know I was going
42to Africa & the date of my going, so don’t mention it - except to
43Bob.
