October? 96 Saturday / Should like to see / you, I should, before you go away / - I thought you would have / chat - things to say to Georgie / and so didn't intrude the / other day - so delicate minded / I was - but I could go & / see you on Tuesday easily if / you are still in town. and / in this fleeting world times / of disappearance should not / be too long. / or, on Tuesday would you like to / come here & see drawings & / pictures and such things? / and nobody else should come / or should be pushed out if / they did come - / and still I have have the picture / of that monastery by the / Red Sea as clear to my / mind as if I had seen it. / do send me a little line / - I would offer Monday, / but Monday is devoted to / a sad ceremony (Mr. Morris funeral. no that was a Tuesday [6 October 1896]) - or if you / stay longer, then fix any day / you will, either to come here / or me to go to you - but / I have an idea you go / away about the middle / of next week. - / an excellent saying of / Angela's yesterday to her / papa, about her dove / that she had seen "almost / bathing itself to death / with a view to its / own happiness" / and the new lady, Georgie says / is like you, which is / pleasant hearing. / So goodbye / from your most affectionate / B-J
