Robin Ghyll, Langdale, Ambleside. - Very sorry to hear of Bob's accident and Paul's ill health; seems that neither are serious, but he would appreciate confirmation. Mary cannot quite shake off her whooping cough, so they are kept in isolation. They like Robin Ghyll 'immensely'; thinks it is 'healthier' than Seatoller for a long stay; does not have 'such wonderful woods behind it' but the view is even better than that at Seatoller. Is just beginning to write his new volume ["Garibaldi and the Thousand"], and Janet is getting on with her history of Italy ["A short history of the Italian people "]. They go out for drives and picnics in a pony carriage they hired in Ambleside.
