Dear Mr Simpson

My sister brought the pictures down to Christ's College this morning, as I was unable to do so. She left them in charge of the Porter, who said he would hand them

[1v]

over to you when you came round.

The large charcoal drawing of my grandmother, the photographs of Down in the long frame, and the stool are still here, as they were awkward

[2]

to get into the cab.

They shall be sent down tomorrow.

Will you kindly send a card or telephone message to say you have received the others safely?

yours sincerely

N. Darwin
