But I thought of you yesterday, while I was following your prescription of the flesh-brush, by which I daily profit; and it occurred to me that now all London is gone or going out of town (Lady M. will call before she goes), you will find your confinement irksome for want of visitors. So this idea came into my mind: There is no difficulty in having yourself transported to the railway station and taking the whole of a carriage in which your bed is to be put. You get here in eight hours; you have an apartment on the ground floor, close to a garden; and for the next two months there will be a succession of your friends here, besides ourselves. Do think of this.

‘Yours ever,
‘H. B.’
