The Mill House, Westcott, Dorking. - Will not be able to sign the deeds till Wednesday so thinks he should stay in England then cross that night, though his father thinks they could be signed in Holland. Has ordered the beds, which cost more than a pound each than was printed in the catalogue as the '[Second Boer] war has sent up iron and labour considerably'; discussion of pillows and mattresses; [Roger] Fry recommended a 'spring or woollen [sic] mattress underneath the French'. Sophie [Wicksteed]'s Carlyle and Meredith have come. Will go over to the Frys now to see if they are coming to Roundhurst with him tomorrow. Lily H. [Hodgkin?] and her sister have sent some brass candlesticks and a glass jar.
