Theodore you must come here and see me tomorrow for I am not well - and after my manner have at once taken to my bed - but oh I must not be neglected! - so come tomorrow at about 12 or one o'clock and you shall be given lunch - or come later and they shall [p. 2] brew you the tea without which you are still charming! -
But come you must - for on Sunday you must be enabled to report with authority from head quarters - and last last [sic] Sunday you played me false and left me to struggle alone with the Cab man! -
