My dear Annie1

As you are not coming home till Monday I send you Wills’2 long letter3 received yesterday afternoon. I have written4 to Will this morning. We have been to see Mr Rayne’s Dickson, & to Ardmore, and a walk to Will’s daffodill [sic] fields beyond Broadstone Junction yesterday morning, but I have not felt up to much yet. A Miss Ree called here yesterday & took tea. She is a great friend of Mrs. G. Davies5 [2] of Godalming, and is thinking of taking or building a house with a friend or relative who is rather delicate. She seems very pleasant. Nobody else has been but Rose6 went with Mrs Horn yesterday to a kind of bazaar for E. African niggers at "The Elms".

That is all the news.

Yours very affectionately | Alfred [signature]
