Scope and content
Presumes that she is travelling about, and that his letter will be somewhat delayed in coming to Davos. States that he has explained this to Symonds, and asks her to send it on as soon as she can. He and Nora hope that she had a good time at Bamborough, 'and that everybody is revived and refreshed'. Asks if she has read Dorothy Forster, a historical novel by [Walter] Besant about the rising of 1715; says that it is 'fairly good'. Announces that he is going to spend Sunday with Mrs Arnold at Lowestoft.
