Vigant has been enquiring about
steamers we find that best is to
sail 6 Novr "Geelong" and altho
I dont like a crowded steamer
I think the earlier we leave the
better both as regards health here
and the Red sea. I have no
doubt of the relaxing nature of
this air. I never knew the fulness
of it till I came here from Camden
I suppose you know that Mr Dumaresq
is engaged to Miss Gladstone
at least I heard today that the
little Conys had been told to speak
to their "Uncle" in her presence
so it must be in 'fait accompli'
