Scope and content

King's Coll. Cambridge [on headed notepaper, 'as from' added by hand]. - Had meant to answer her 'kind letter' before now, but his plans have been 'uncertain'; now he can suggest a time for him to visit it it is 'probably too near Christmas for your convenience'. Could come for a night on Friday 3rd [December]; if the Trevelyans are not free then perhaps Bessie could suggest another time around then.

Florence has 'shown her expected restraint and consideration for others [at the death of her sister Margaret]', and 'now seems fairly normal'. Believes 'his' Agnes [Dowland] is staying with her at the moment; asks if he told Bessie that [Florence's maid] Harriet 'alas! alas! has gone to take care of a father'.
