of Hottinger & Co Bankers Paris
would meet me there if it failed here
I should like to hear from you dear
Bessie – because after we reach London
1st Sep. we must make our plans
immediately for I fear V. will soon
be off – & Ch thought he might get
a short leave – If you will let me hear
if you do want us to come if we are able
and when – I will write directly I
get home & hear if V. is appointed –
to say whether we can come or not

Kate [indecipherable] wrote to ask when we cd
go to them but I answered that we
must first know your plans .
I do hope you all keep well and
are happy wherever you are dear
and that you have good home news
These waters make me so stupid
& feel so exhausted that writing is
really quite a difficult task
