Notes
Dr. Sharon Bickle has published this letter as two separate letters, numbers 156 and 157 in the publication cited below. It may be possible that letter 156, which is undated, was included inside letter 157 and this record treats both leaves as one letter. There are two signatures and two salutations however page 3, which begins "Dearest, all this outer leaf..." appears to continue the conversation from page 2 relating to Miss Bradley's concern for Miss Cooper's health.

Summary
Saying "We have been having great fun in Chairs, being wheeled about : but it is cold, & I have no more peace. Don't attempt to meet me to-morrow my own Love. - I am so much better, stronger - but all will be undone - if you don't keep well. Remember there is no brandy in our room now. - But have a little with good hot water, if cold. - I can write or feel no more poetry news I am anxious. Hennie, my Boy! You will make me swear never to leave you - And then I shall have no more letters - & I love my letters. / Thy own dearly lvg / Timmie Hors / Thy Master- / Hennie! / Dearest, all this outer leaf I shall spend in anger & rage! I have just received thy 2 post-cards - Sleepless & cold, sleepless because cold. Tell Amy to lie still & hot, & think she is a pie baking in the oven! You must be kept warm : it is dangerous for you to be cold. I am very grim - & shall send a wire - I want to return finding thee well. Bless oo! My own love! / Simurg."
