DEAR MARCO Many happy returns of 

 the day (to-morrow) * to you. We are still 

 at the seaside, but return, probably, next week 

 to Wallingford I have enjoyed this place 

 more than I anticipated, chiefly owing to the 

 wonderfully warm and summerlike weather 

 that has continued ever since we have been 

 here. By far the best thing in this neighbour- 

 hood is the Abbey Church at Christchurch, 

 which reminds me much of St. Albans before 



* The 1 3th of September, Mr. Marks's birthday.
