My dear friend
I wish you would send me a line to tell me how your husband is and what is the general news. I was very glad of course to hear of the deserved tribute to his service. At the same time I hope that he does not consider the testimonial a payment for anything to be done in
the future and that he will not drown himself in town affairs
For the benefit of what, after all, are an ungrateful and graceless lot. What I mean is that he and you & I ought to (blot) be off in June. If Switzerland is too far we will go to the Channel Islands – just handy, as the boat starts from Southampton or if Switzerland is not far enough then to the South Pole. Anything for a change & Christian society.
Mrs White is in bed again completely prostrate and we can hardly move her, the limbs are so rigid. These attacks come with increasing frequency.
Best love to husband & all.
Tell Charlie I am still without an account for the cigars.
Faithfully and affectionately
W. Hale White
