Geobge. 



To Mrs. G. J. Bomanes.

I got your dear note soon after we went down 

 to the pier to see you start. Through the club 

 telescope I thought I saw you and Fritz. When you 

 got far out I came home. The Taylors joined our 

 table, which is very agreeable. The Canon told me 

 a good joke which came off to-day. Sir ' Gorgias ' 

 told the Canon he had bought a second-hand book 

 which he thought Dr. Taylor might find interesting. 



The Canon asked what the book was, and the 

 Knight replied it was by a man called Locke, and 

 was all about the Human Understanding.
