Thanks for letter. Has just turned 60 himself. Does not like the sound of the bronchitis. Wife thanks him for the pamphlet on Force. It is a dreadful puzzle. Philosophers must deny the existence of things they do not understand. Family members are at Walmer. Gives examples of mistakes being copied. Encloses two riddles.
