Dear Fred,

I received your long and very welcome letter yesterday + hasten to reply, not as fully as I should like to, but to save as much time as possible.  We hear from Amy (Mrs T) that a Captain Worsnop is coming over, and is to bring Harold. I thought it strange you should not have mentioned the fact and can only surmise that you are unaware of anything of the kind.  You mention Appleby coming home to fetch Cissy + youngsters back and if this story of Mrs T is

[2]

Unfounded, I should be in the seventh heaven of delight if some arrangement could be made to let Harold come with him.  Unfortunately I cannot send the necessary funds just now, but nevertheless I should be very disappointed if an opportunity of getting my little flock together once again under the altered circumstances, should be allowed to pass.  The Dad’s letter I have not answered yet, but shall do fully in a day or two + I shall also make a point of sending you a more interesting

[3]

Letter as well.  At this time it will be sufficient for me to assure you that both the “Fry” matter and the needle maker matter shall have my earned attention.  I have written Fry to make an appointment to meet me, but, as usual get no reply from him.  It is my intention to go fully into the matter with Fry and shall write you the result and at the same time you can rely upon my using all discretion but without losing sight of the fact that there is something wrong + that it is my determination to find it out.

[4]

You shall have all the news in my next, but I am sending this note so that the question of Harold’s coming home may be guided by yourself.  Emmie is writing to Mrs Archibald to advise her of the likelihood of an opportunity of getting him with us again and will at the same time suggest that you represent her (Emmie) in the matter. Emmie has infinite trust in you + I personally shall be very proud if you will interest yourself in our behalf.

Kind love to all + again promising another letter in a few days

Your affectionate Brother

Ernest
