Summary
Discussing plans to see one another again while they are both in Cumbria and expressing his pleasure at the walk they were able to take the previous day; saying "In spite of the cruel clouds on the Gable which obliterated our view, I enjoyed our walk very much. One peep we had of Wastwater gleaming in the sun, & the sea beyond, was worth the whole."
