Mr. Saunders to Bampton.

Dear Bampton. I am coming to-morrow. I should have come before only I have been laid up with an attack of rheumatism and they wouldn't let me go. I am afraid now you will have two invalids instead of one to nurse, but perhaps the sight of our old boy will do me good and make me forget my aches and pains. I shall be in London I hope by 10 o'clock to-morrow night. Yours affectionately,
