Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Invites Marsh to come here if he has any spare days between now and 'next Saturday week', the 15th. There will be no-one here but [Walter Morley?] Fletcher and [Robert Hawthorn?] Kitson, who come on Saturday and leave on Monday; much to see and do here 'but the not-doing is the best part of it'. Tells Marsh to 'imagine paradise, only with a big modern red-brick imitation Elizabethan-house in it, and two Eves, both over forty, instead of one [perhaps Bob's mother and governess?]' and he will 'have the place'. The journey there by train is easy. Bob will have to work in the mornings.
