Monday
My dear George
I will send this by the wedding party tomorrow— I am very glad the Grove is so nice. We have accepted Mrs Jebb's most moderate terms from Nov 1st to May 1st. It will be much the most comfortable plan.
Frank & I both wish to employ Mr Marshall so I suppose he wd be the best man to inspect it—I do hope you have taken a turn my dear old man—yours E. D—
I returned this P. M. from Ellen Tollets after a very peaceful & comf. week only saddened by seeing her in so much lower a state. Hen. came on Sat & returned with me today—
I think I will put off my seeing the Grove till it has been looked at, when there will be most likely different plan on the tapis.
