My dearest Old man,

Your letter & paper to hand, for which many thanks. It is a little disappointment to find you are not coming on Sunday, but I quite agree with you that it would be a great pity to sacrifice 2 half days; perhaps you will come on the Saturday, will Mr Williams come with you?

Our treat is next Wed: or Thursday - & we go to Herne Bay, I believe. So perhaps you would like to run down. Artie does nt seem well – though he is certainly better than he was & I am really rather queer myself – the back rather troubling me. I thought I told you the address – Mrs Sanders

                                                                                                                                              10 Stork Road

                                                                                                                                               Warwick Road.

Its about 5 mins; from 44.

I don’t think its at all necessary to get a salmon for the vicar – you see, I am giving 3 or 4 hrs to their son, as far as I know, gratuitously .

And I think my time is worth something – so I think I am repaying them their kindness - & they certainly have been very kind.

When you come, I think ½ a ham would be very nice, it would make sandwiches so well if you wanted to go out anywhere. Tea & cocoa also please. I thought too, if you brought down the watch (which I forgot)  I could see if that man could do it for 7/6- its rather a nuisance to have no time. It would save you further bother too.

Unless there is an excursion you would find it better & cheaper to come down the night before & return the following day, supposing you came with us to Herne bay. I told Mrs Knight you were coming for a week & she expressed a hope you would come with us.

With fondest love from us both

Yours lovingly
