Reverend Sir,
I have this morning received a letter from the Lady Abbess of the Benedictine Convent at Ypres, informing me that instead of being able to come to Bruges today as he intented Dr Leadbitter is ill in bed[1] She asks me to let you knowp2this & to say from Dr Leadbitter that he will be very much obliged to you, should any letters come here for him, if you could kindly forward them as soon as possible to him
Begging to be remembered in your pious prayers I remain Reverend Sir
Your faithful servant in Jesus Christ
