Summary
Relating her travel plans; saying that she will leave soon with her daughters to go to her sister "..who takes charge of them while I am over to the great deep - I shall hope to find some way of transporting myself to dear Streatham for a few hours during my flying visit - but tell me immediately how you are and that your hear Husband is arrived at home safe after his Welsh journey - I am told he has been frightened to death at that odious newspaper intelligence."
