Strand | Monday.
My dear Sara
I celebrated my return to London 172 by the usual observances -- that is to say, a violent headache and sickness. The headache is not yet gone, and of course I am in the worst spirits, under the influence of blue devils alias blue pill, and my opinion of things is not worth a straw. I tell you this that you may know why I only send you this scrap instead of the long letter which I have in petto for you and which would otherwise have been written yesterday.
Mr. Chapman says that Mr. Bray meant to come to London to-day if he obtained an affirmative from Mr. Flower 173 about another of these miserable loans. I loathe the very mention of them.
Love to all. I shall write very soon.
Your loving
Pollian.
