-:6:-
I shall turn up, all being well on Christmas Eve, or the day before. I don't see how I can get through in less time. The extension of my travel will be compensated for in the richness of my knowledge and experience. I have never had anything so full of interest and variety before, and I am not the least tired of travelling I have a large and comfortable sitting and bed-room combined here, and people keep calling to see me.
Yours etc.
