Summary
Saying that she and her husband leave for their holiday in the Alps on July 6th or 7th; adding that she does not know much longer the publication date for George Croom Robertson's Elements of Psychology will be delayed, but asking if her fee could either be paid to her immediately or held for her until August, so that it does not have to be forwarded (and potentially lost); discussing proofs and revisions; describing how much she is looking forward to the vacation: "My nerves - what with no holiday last summer & a long spell of literary work, housekeeping, not to omit the nervous wear & tear of golf-apprenticeship, - are in poor condition & I am longing for the heights."
