P. S.

I don't think No 6 is the sort of house to suit the family for London visits for a permanency (excluding F. & me) it is too large ─ a permanent lodging wd be better & handier & cheaper ─ Bessy wd like it much no doubt (she is just started to Ireland on a lovely day)

F. would dislike certainly the change now; but it wd be no permanent vexation or worry to him ─ A payment to the house agent for work done would make all straight.

Hen. threw out the suggestion of our making the same sort of expert with their house when they leave; this F. & I wd like better, but there is no saying when that may be. It wd be m. more suitable. They talk of building but that is difficult
