July 2. 1889 My darling / you are so / right and wise not / to come here tomorrow. / I am sorry not to have / you, but am sure it / is much better for / you to keep quiet, & / I shall be glad when / I hear you are gone to / Felixstowe. That was / a sweet short / time I had with / you. but I thought you / no more than a feeb- / ling, while the child- / ren looked giants / each and all. Make / haste and get strong / dear, and a little / stouter. / I've been down / at R'dean since / Sat: with Margaret, / returning this morning / - the country looked / heavenly and the wea- / ther was beautiful. / As we came from / Victoria we passed / Belgrave Sqre. and / saw preparations / going on for Pamela's / ball tonight, and / I think we both / felt rather old! / Do protect yourself / now your nurse is gone, / and refuse to return / to the world until / after you have been / to the sea. I do hope / Margaret will be able / to come to you. / Goodbye, darling, / I am ever & always / Your loving / Georgie
