Dear Mr. Chapman

I suppose silence implies “yes” – If so – my servant waits to carry off whatsoever “Alice Learmonts” you may bestow. –

I have come home out of health – & all knocking about in Town is forbidden me – else I should have called myself.

very sincerely yours DinahMulock Thursday 12 Melvil Melville Terrace &c –
