Park Hill, Carlshalton,Surrey
My dear Mrs Colenutt
We shall think of you all on Monday, you may be sure. I specially will think of you, for my wretched temperament exaggerates the suffering of such situations to such a degree that even the mere anticipation is
unbearable. It is horrible selfishness to put one’s own self to the front so much and to think so little of the happiness of others, but I cannot for the life of me get the better of it. I try hard, nevertheless.
Will you send me Kate’s Whitby address? (1) I will send the Tennyson there. I suppose Mr. Wright's name is as I have spelt it. I don’t want to make a mistake over the inscription in the first volume.
Best love from Mrs White and myself to your dear husband, yourself, and the children. Kate has not yet sent me Mr. Wright's portrait as she promised, and we should also like to very much to have one of
Fabian’s (2) lady. Please put full name on the back of each. I like to be exact.
Ever yours
W.Hale White
(1) The Colenutt's daughter
(2) Their eldest son.
