My dear Child
Your welcome letter makes me happy to find that all is so well with you.
I am quite proud of my St. Cecilia finding its way to Bruges: it will at least be a lesson in English to Canon(?) Gezelle: bid him take good care of you, for St Cecilia’s sake.[1]p2I had a very nice answer from your sister[2] but pointing to the future. I go tomorrow for a week into Hampshire. While you translate for me, your good husband might pen something for C. Progress,[3] on the customs of the Brugeois[4]
