Summary
Responding to Popham's proposed trip to Sicily and writing that it is "a fine idea"; adding that he was all for the idea of "urging Egypt upon" him when he was with him, but noting that should he choose to do that after an operation he would be advised to spend a month with the Wells's before he goes; assuring him that they will fit in with his plans whatever he should decide to do.
