My dear Brother
When you send me the cheque for my half year's interest, will you be so good as to deduct £5, and give it to Chrissey towards helping to pay Emily's school bill, as that will save the risk of sending a £5 note by post. It would be very good news to hear that an opportunity had occurred of placing out my money more advantageously.
I am rejoiced to learn from Chrissey that you are once more quite strong again. You must enjoy health doubly after suffering so long from the effects of your sad illness.
I hope this wet May is good for the grass crops, for it is anything but exhilarating to us human plants. [5 lines cut away] When you send me the cheque, please to address it to Mr. Chap[ma]n's [8 K]ing William St., Strand where you may always address to me, as a letter is then sure to [Signature cut away.]
