My dear friend,
We moved last Monday in the wet! Fortunately we had taken lodgings. I saw the vans depart from Crowborough. Molly superintended the unloading and showed the talent of a general. She got back to the lodgings at eleven p.m. When we shall be settled I cannot say. There is a large old garden to our new abode with very big trees in it. It is almost too much of a garden for us, but we shall leave part of it wild.
I have not seen those Emerson (1) numbers and indeed I have had no time for reading lately.
Ernest was married last Saturday. I do not know his present address. As soon as I hear from him I will tell him about your kind offer.
I will write further when I have a little more leisure.
Love from us both – also to Annie.
Your affectionate friend
W. Hale White
I consider Chamberlain the most dangerous politician of this Century – his schemes are all wind but they may nevertheless plunge the nation into disaster.
