of every letter to you I have to make some
sort of an excuse for bad penmanship
so this time I will offer as an excuse that
a ponderous Greek Lexicon ^{in the other side of thetable} is continually
on the move. Do not fail to write me
soon that is immediately on the receipt of
this. Give my love to all. Tell [illegible] that
if she can preserve herself from injury
until six weeks has passed away she
will then have an admirable defender.
Yours affectionately
"William"
