My dear George

I think At Caroline would be very much pleased if you offered to come here for a day on your return from Worthing. She has a great regard for you & enjoys your conversation particularly

[2]

you will find every thing quite cheerful & except for Bernard you wd do as well without us though I shd have liked your coming much. The extreme cold is somewhat mitigated & it is bright & pleasant.

Frank comes today & I have some doubts whether there is another spare room. We go home on the 24th & then I have a week

[3]

before I go to Ellen Tollet for a week; but Frank & Bessy & B. will be keeping house — All my visits have had to be dove-tailed or I shd have liked to have spread them out more

Bernard is very happy with Meggy. What a job Thomson & Tait turns out to be —

yours my dear George.

E. D —

Please to give my very kind remembrances to Mrs Galton her husband —
