"Just a line to say that I have engaged a pleasant apartment in the Sherwood but may not be able to move in before the 18th, as the present occupant is ill. The journey was exciting as journey's usually are, and I am somewhat tired. It is now 5 and I have been on the go since my arrival. So far I have seen none of my friends and I miss all of you and your kind interest and hospitality. I will write Mrs. Stoddart in two or three days as my plans are more definite..."
