Thanks for her father's kind wishes. He expects her every day, being sure she will call when she goes to her sister's cottage. He had a note from Mrs P. for Mrs F.; he tells her offer as being"le bas bleu above the ancle" for writing Greek when she knows he does not understand it; he asks how "Vardilla and her Mum" is.
