3 Dear Mrs Murray

5 I fear there’s been some misunderstanding. I thought when we parted
6it was left to be arranged at some future time when we were to meet.
7My brother told me on Monday night you’d asked if I could come on
8Wednesday, but I made sure he’d told you how ill I was. I got up
9yesterday afternoon but don’t think I shall be able to make any
10appointments for some time.
