My dearest Wife,
Although I have kept you well supplied with pictorial cards I will write a few lines this morning before going down to the pier with John, where I am going to attack that “Fiscal” article in the national review.
We seem in for another fine, warm day. Frank spent Tuesday here and Lee Coleman came over yesterday from Rosway so I have had plenty of companions so far. I am going to Sandwich on Saturday and shall make a fairly early start so as to make a call at Walmer and dine at Rosway.
I find Grannie very feeble and she is no doubt failing considerably in body and mind, still she does not seem to suffer in any way.
I was very glad to get your letter yesterday and am glad to hear Mary is coming. I have sent her a post card to say I shall probably be travelling down by the 9.50 on Tuesday. I expect I shall put Norah into the train at Paddington on Monday due at Badsey about 5.20 p.m.
Kiss Juliet for me and tell her the sea looks very nice and smooth.
With love to all and especially to you my dear Eugénie I am ever
Your loving Husband
Julius Sladden
