I wish I was near to you dear
Bessie – I shall stay on here a
little longer at all events.
V. leaves on the 8th or 9th I am
feeling so much better. It
is a sort of duty to let well
alone – and keep quiet here
till the weather improves else
where. I see Ch about 1ce a week
he is much more busy now
been trench dipping &c 6 hours
a day lately. Work beginning
& trains are ill timed for his
coming here & returning –

Let me know for Posts are slow
about those houses at Wimbledon
& I will make enquiry at once
