MS: Yale. Endorsed: March 62. Extracts published: Cross, II, 337.
Barley Mow Inn | Englefield Green 38 | Monday morning.
Dearest Boy
Please tell Grace that we shall be home to dinner tomorrow -- Tuesday.
We had agreeable weather until yesterday, which was wet and blustering, so that we could only snatch two short walks. Pater is better, I think, and I, as usual, am impudently flourishing on country air and idleness. On Friday Mr. Bone, our landlord, drove us out in his pony carriage to see the "meet" of the Stag-hunt, and on Saturday ditto, to see the Fox-hunters so, you perceive, we have been leading rather a grand life. The rest we will keep till we get home.
Ever thy loving
Mutter.
