My dear Willie¹

We shall be glad to see you on Friday next. I send you 2/6. If you walk over you can save it for other purposes. As soon as I get the letter I will write to the Doctor. Last Tuesday I went to Parkstone² to meet the landlord & see the alterations in the house. He is doing it very nicely & I think it will be a very snug little place with enough garden for us & very pretty country near. It is not only a tiled roof but it is one of the prettiest & best built little houses [2] I ever saw. I do not think there is one in Godalming so pretty. Your letter about the medium was very interesting. Just the same time Mr. Sharpe³ found out a boy at Charterhouse who is a spiritualist & takes in "Light". He is a grandson of the Duke of Argyll. I have just this morning finished my last Ex.^m [examination] papers.⁴ We have had a few good answers but not many. You will see them when you come. We shall move, probably, the end of [3] next week. I have emptied the old cabinet, packed all the flints & good fossils in a small box, & all your birds’ [MS damaged] carefully in small boxes [MS damaged] & wool & these in [MS damaged] [4] look nice & comfortable. Ma⁵ is pretty well. Violet⁶ is not coming home again ^{till the holidays} as she had her [illeg.] at Burrell’s party, & has to <work hard> for [MS damaged]
