My dear Mrs Onslow
Very many thanks for
your welcome letter of 21st
the contents of which I imparted
to both the King families
in Melbourne. I am not
at all surprised at the interruption
of many of your intentions
in the way of letter writing.
I - even I - with nothing to
do but obey the doctor, am
often hoisted out of my good
intentions by friends, by this
and by that. Therefore
what must your case be?
as you seem to have
two hemispheres to manage.
