My dear brother
There is probably a great deal which I could tell you, of interest to you if I can only think of it. Jack is looking far from well + is much worried now for various reasons.
His great friend Sir Wm. Curtis of Caynham Court is dead. He has been told by his doctor that he will never be able to do any more work either here or abroad. Lastly the negotiations which he had almost completed for a house have developed a troublesome obstacle. However Watts + he walked to [illegible] yesterday + he did not seem the worse though his foot troubled him a bit at the finish. Bell is here + looks older of course, but it is hard to realize that she's a grandmother. Rachie and Jack, Len's children are here also
