I was happy to see your writing again and I thank you for your kind letter.[1] Unfortunately the parties did not wait till your answer came and inquired on their own account. I had a note from them yesterday saying their daughter will go to some place near Lincoln.[2] I did not know Sibyl was at Bruges. If she returns there, I wall[3] go and see her, as I did Ethel, at Tournay. I am not likely to go to Brussels, but if Mr Weale can take a run through Courtrai, he will be welcome. how happy I would be if you came and made my home yours, for some days! From 24 O.L.V. street you can run wherever you like. I'm well anough,[4] thank God, and pray daily for youp2and your people, my Godson especially. Florence is all right, at Paschendaele,[5] near Ipres; if you come we will go and see her together. Her Convent name is Zuster Colomba, the children call her Zuster Canonball!
I thank you for the trouble you were kind anough[6] to take and I hope you will come to Courtrai 24. O.L.V. street, some day or other, and see your old friend in Christ
