Broadstone, Wimborne.

My dear Will1

What about my silk-handkerchief? I want them bad. We are going on as usual, no news from Violet2 this week & more.

At length we see the sun again today, & there are hopes of Spring. I am quite well again.

There was a good school-boy answer in the paper the other day. "What did Jesus bid his [2] disciple to beware of? "Please sir, of playing Cricket with the Pharisees" "What do you mean?" "Why sir he said —"Beware of the "leven" of the Pharisees."

No more at present. | Your affectionate Pa | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
