Will you fix an early day for dining at Grays Inn. We leave town next week,
& as I have seen you so frequently since we have resided here, I shall of
course feel much at the seperation. let me not forget to thank you for
Musæus. [1]
Edith has been very unwell – I hope
better air, & regular exercise will restore her health. I suppose Grosvenor,
in about a fortnight we shall be very intimate again – as we shall be a hundred
miles asunder.
I wish to keep the term this
week.
farewell.
RS.
Monday. 5 Feby. 98.
