My Dearest Wife,
I must write a line to appraise you of my safe arrival yesterday the train was scarcely 20 minutes late.
Mrs Marsh thinks you might like to see the enclosed letter from Bessie, please return it when you write.
I had three hours with the girls and saw Miss Smith also Sister Miriam for a minute or two.
Jack met me at Margate Stn, he was all right. I had only a few minutes with him at Cannon St. I can hardly write with this horrid pen. Grannie seems pretty well.
Tuesday we are going to Ash and Deal. I hope you are keeping fairly well, you must not overdo yourself.
It has been a lovely day. Frank was here when I arrived and has just left. Charlotte thanks you for the ketchup everything travelled well, the roses are much admired.
With much love also to Ethel and Cyril
I remain
Your affectionate Husband
Julius Sladden
