Many thanks for your prompt answer to my note. I hope by this time you have come to an arrangement.[2] For me Wednesday would be the most convenient day now because I have suspended my preparations and I hope that will be your day. The boat[3] starts at 11 o’clock a.m. However let me know as soon as possible your decision. Mama will call in the afternoon at the Cardinal’s at about three o’clock. I will write to the Rector on the receipt of your answer to this.
p2My Edmund has left me to close this so I put a line in to say I shall do my best to be with you soon after 2 o’clock. I very much fear all this troubles you & perhaps makes my kind Father wish he had not visited England. I am a sad timid Child & all kinds of things enter my head you must forgive me & pray for me -
