4 Dear old Fan

6 So glad of your news & to hear all is still going well with you. I am
7so sorry to hear about your poor old Harry. Tell him I send him my
8love & hope he will soon be quite strong. I wish I could be at home to
9see the rejoicings when your two come back. We are expecting dear old
10Dr Brown tomorrow. He will come in the morning & go away in the
11evening again! The Purcells are now at Natal. Little Walter was laid
12up for ten days at Johannesburg with influenza, & she dislikes
13Johannesburg as much as I do.

15 Good bye dear

24 I am working hard at my book to try & earn some, but those publishers
25are so bad I may get nothing after all.
