Dear Brother,

I hope you got safe to Darfield, and are now comfortably reposing yourself there. I was very feckless and sick yesterday all day … At Chapman’s I learned that Browning was still here, then that he was going (with wife and child) by Dieppe on Thursday morning,—10 a.m., sail by day, and sleep at Dieppe; I have as good as decided to wait and go with them. …
