Dear Wallace

I sent you by post yesterday the copy by the three colour process of wolfs "Labrador Falcon," and also one or two of my last egg plates The waterlily bloom you gave my wife lasted nearly until we left for home. & only closed up on the Monday evening. I have seen Preece2 several times since my return to town and he has promised to do what he can for your son It seems that Sir O. Lodge3 is not a business man at all & [2] does not trouble with business matters.

With kind regards from my wife & myself to you all

I remain | Yours truly | HE Dresser4 [signature]
