work, & also I want to
get established in both
my little houses, & it takes
time, so I prefer putting off till
the following year if I am alive.

I shall do my best to find you
tomorrow, but amongst 4000 people
I do not feel over sanguine. It
wd. be a great pleasure to have a
few words with you & to tell you
how I appreciate your grasp of the
family traditions. I have only just received
the packet forwarded from Hydon
& am writing after reading through it
hurriedly, but look forward to re-reading
it again to night.

Your very sincerely
Mary Minto

Miss Acheson has not yet
sent me the corrected copy of the early journal. I will
forward it to you as soon as I get it.
