My dear Pennell -
We[3] have just returned - and this morning had your two letters[4] -
So it will be all right and delightful for next week - When are you coming? Let us know - and the sooner the better -
I wish you were going off in this [p. 2] sudden way to America! - By the way what news have you from Chicago[5]? - Don't forget to bring Hamertons[6] article -
No - it was only now - on our way back that the weather was at all possible - Yesterday & today the sky is fine - though threatening to end in rain - In short we were too soon - for once! Now would be the time to go to the country! -
However I must say I am glad to get back -
Always
