My dear Friend
My doctor tells me that I must take a holiday. So the week after next I propose to leave home for a fortnight, and I want to know if you and your dear wife could go with me. Otherwise I must go alone. At this time of year we shall have no difficulty about lodgings. There are three places of which I have thought. The Scilly Islands - Buttermere and Carlyle's country. I will leave the decision to you. I cannot walk much. I want rest more than anything. The Scilly Island recommend themselves on account of the climate – Buttermere on account of its scenery, and Carlyle’s country because I have been mad lately to behold Ecclefecham and Annan and Craigenputtock.
Let me have a word from you to say whether you can come.
Love to Mrs Colenutt and the children.
W. Hale White
