Scope and content
Hopes that she has recovered from her trip to the dentist. States that he would have come to London to see her had he not been so busy. Encourages her to come to Cambridge to see Newnham Hall 'with the first bloom on it'; the 'house is full', all is going well so far, and all those involved have 'the sense of repose and tranquil pleasure with which one reaches the top of the first stage in climbing a hill!'. Undertakes to get her 'a comfortable room at the 'Hoop'. Refers to 'the enclosed' [not included], which he wishes her to send back.
