Summary
Saying they [she and "Pidoo," her nickname for H.G. Wells, see MA 14645.1] are leaving Britain in a few days--by leisurely stages, "for my wretched face still swells up like a balloon as soon as it's tired--for Paris"; having to put flat together "But by the 7th of September I'll have it all in working order again"; asking when Rebecca will be in Paris and inviting her to stay if she doesn't "object to an austere little bed which will remind you of your schooldays"; wishing her a pleasant holiday.
