Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Will be 'delighted' to see Elizabeth and Robert on the 2nd if they think travel will be easiest then; advises her on the best train to catch. Glad she enjoyed the day at Tunbridge Wells; they [Annie Philips and Sophie Wicksteed] were pleased to se her. Separate sheet adding a postscript which asks whether Elizabeth could call on the Corrie Grants; thinks they must be nearby as they are staying at Leylands, Wotton. Corrie Grant has been very ill and they have gone there to recover; thinks Robert must know him, as he is a 'great Liberal'; has exhausted himself over the peace campaign [against the Second Boer War]. They are very quiet and 'badly off'; Mrs Grant is a friend of Caroline.

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Glad Elizabeth and Robert will arrive on Thursday. They will only find Miss Martin here; Imogen Booth is coming later, and 'will be able to accompany' Elizabeth. She must not worry about visiting the [Corrie] Grants; Caroline thought they were nearer. Anxious to hear about the house. Gives detailed instructions for the journey in a postscript.
