Manchester, 16 August 1869 
Dear Moor, 

Yesterday I received a telegram informing me that my 
mother will not be getting to Ostend until Wednesday evening. 
Since I must now wait for a letter from home providing me with 
more detailed information and since yet another reason requires 
that I still be here tomorrow, I telegraphed you today that I will 
not be coming until Wednesday.” Also, I am worried that if in the 
meantime the Lafargues should come I may not find night 
Guarters in your doubtless full house and, this being the case, 
would like to know whether I might find lodging somewhere near 

ou. 

: Tussy’s tooth is out; the dentist found that since one of the 
three roots was inflamed the only solution was to extract. The pain 
is now gone. 

Ut am planning to take the 3:30 Midlands train that arrives in 
London at 8:50. 

Best greetings. 

Your 
F. E.
