Poor Arlice came home last night & this will be his last Sunday – I go off tomorrow – to stay till Wednesday. – I rarely stay more than one night – for Glasgow always makes me ill – but I was fond of Willie he was so good when George was ill. –

No more till I see you all. – Don’t let anybody hurry to meet me – because as I will likely be rather miserable a good sleep till 8 a.m. will do me no harm. – Mr. Barrett will give me a slate later so I shall be quite comfortable. –
