Summary
Sending a new pair of sandals he has made for the recipient and hoping that they will fit; alluding to the recipient's and "Edward's" move to Oxford; noting that he had a bath at Brighton and hopes to have another at Morecombe "next week"; asking if Edward is preparing anything for publication and noting that his book "on Ceylon & India" [probably his From Adam's Peak to Elephanta: Sketches in Ceylon and India] may be out by November.
