6I shall be turning up in London next Tuesday afternoon, going to the
7dear Brackenbury’s for a bit. I realy ought to have left this place
8three weeks ago, for the mountain mists & fogs beat anything I ever
9knew, but I really can’t bear to leave dear May & the happy little
10home here.

12I am wondering when our girls will return? I suppose not till Xmas, or
13near it.

15Good bye dear.
