Summary
Explaining his reasons for having not written in so long, being his health and work; indicating that he recently stayed several months in Herne Bay with his sister and mother; thanking her for "directing Dunn's attention to the house in Hammersmith Mall" and discussing his intent to see it on his own; asking if she has any details as to renting it, as Dunn reported the agent to have been "rather reticent as to giving particulars"; expressing his regret at having missed a visit with Mrs. [Georgina Emily Holme] Sumner; asking if there are still any magnolias in bloom at Broadlands, as he would like to "try their effect in Fiammetta."
