          you left the cistern fill of water
 a slight scum covers its surface
 shall I empty it?


 I have just finished my first draft 
 of my introductory (or inaugural in
 reality) were you to see it I should
 be ashamed to have you know how
 much labor it has cost me. I am
 sorry the coil leaks -


 Yours in haste


 I. F. Holton -


 Respects to Mrs. T. & thanks to E. for
 the run of her plants - doubt whether
 I shall avail myself of it
