My Dear Madam
Thanks for your kind inquiries. I am getting all right now and able to Golf. I have stood my little illness so well that I am more confident of my health than I have been for a long time.
You are fleeing away from the praise to come as usual. I am confident of having famous news to send you. Every dip I take into the Poem makes me more and more invulnerable in my opinion. It is wonderful.
Wishing you a pleasant trip and trusting to have many good reports to send you, I am
always yours truly
John Blackwood.
Mrs. Lewes.
