Dearest, I have been kept in town and just return in time to say why you have no note . . . to-morrow I will write . . . so much there is to say on the subject of this letter I find.
Bless you, all beloved – –

Oh, do not sleep another night on that horrible error I have led you into! The ‘Dulwich Gallery’! – – !!! – – oh, no. Only some pictures to be sold at the Greyhound Inn, Dulwich – – ‘the genuine property of a gentleman deceased.’
