My dear Charles
I am very glad to hear that you got safely across the Channel, for tonight a gale of wind seems rising, and rough weather may be expected for some days – You did not give me time enough to write to you; for I wrote the very day I got your direction “Post Office Munich” and I believe my letter got there the day after you left.
I received yours from Munich Cologne and Dover. I am sorry the weather was so cold in Germany as to make sightseeing uncomfortable. I heard from your mother 1 today, all well – And I heard from Tilly, 2 who has been for a week to Edinburgh. They are going to have a new Election in Dumfriesshire – with the same 2 candidates. 3 – I will procure the Royal Institution 4 tickets for you when I am in Town. I am going to Cotehele on Monday to see your aunt Caroline, 5 & shall return here about Friday, & stay here about 3 or 4 days, & then go to London, & so to the Continent. I enclose a letter from Awdry 6 & a Jury summons It reads very peremptory but is really optional.
Your affte
Father
