Scope and content

Claims that their secret [his engagement to Eleanor Balfour] is now so widely known that she may tell 'any one who is really interested in [him]', including the Greens. Announces that he shall be in London on Monday, and asks her when she shall be there. Hopes that she feels more comfortable about her teeth. States that his and his intended wife's plans are not yet quite settled, and he does not know whether or for how long he shall be in London during the following month. Undertakes to write again as soon as he has seen Eleanor, who is to return from Paris on the following Monday.
