Saturday / Beloved Friend. / may we put off tomorrow / till tomorrow week?- for more / reasons than one - the days / are dark at present & surely / before long it will be brighter / and I am weak to-bits / these last days, & full of / worries - in another week / I shall be disgustingly fat / & well & I want to / make a good beginning - / 2 afternoons ought to / finish the drawing - but I / should hate to fail. / So may it be tomorrow week / & you come with her to / lunch at 1 1/2 & we will / begin drawing at 2. / I do hope & pray this / change is not tiresome to / you. / Your very true / servant / EB-J
