To Mrs Sarah Colenutt

Miss Rowe’s, 15 The Beacon, Exmouth My dear friend, I am leaving here on Friday and as I wish very much to see you and your husband and the other dear Ryde folk before I go back to work, you may expect me on Monday or Tuesday next, unless I get countermanding orders from you at Carlshalton before then. If the weather should improve and the roads are in fairish order I shall make the journey to Portsmouth on my tricycle and send a change of clothes to you in advance. I don’t know if I could achieve the whole distance in one day, but if not in one, I can do two easily. I wish Fabian could find out if it would be better to stable the steed at Portsmouth or bring it over the water. If at Portsmouth, what would be a good place? The steamboat charge might perhaps be excessive. Best love to husband and the children – Ever faithfully W. Hale White
