My Dearest Frances,
You are fortunate in being at liberty to remain in your
own shaded home when the sun is pouring down such intense
heat.
I visited at Mrs Seymour's
pleasant party. Tomorrow evening I go to a party at Miss Grangers
Judge Nelson
have not begun. We shall probably begin them this afternoon at
three. In the meantime I am busy in studying the causes pre-
paratory for hard work.
Your champagne came quick after my order.
It is a peace offering – which will probably be a theme
of new complaint.
I shall be with you on Sunday. I am
better today than I have been in ten days, and have a hope
of getting great yet. Ever your own Henry.
