Dear Moor, 

I got your letter‘ yesterday morning before we left and was 
very glad to hear that you did, after all, have a reasonably good jour- 
ney. But you are right in proposing to break the return journey; it’s 
far too risky, letting such an invalid remain on the go for 12 hours.

very rich man-> Carl Hirsch-° See previous letter. 

I only hope that the change of air and scene doesn’t fail to produce 
the desired effect. 

We left at 10.30 and arrived here at 5.5, minus my trunk, which 
had gone astray, but turned up before evening. After perhaps a quar- 
ter of an hour’s search we found lodgings that were first-rate and not 
too dear (2 doors away from last year’s, but a great improvement in 
every way). We had some rain yesterday, but today it seems to be 
slowly clearing up. The day before yesterday, by way of insuring my- 
self against rainy weather such as we have again become familiar 
with lately in London, I went to fetch the Skaldin and the first two 
volumes of Maurer’s Fronhéfe* from Tussy. 

Our present plan is to remain here for 3 weeks or, perhaps, 4, de- 
pending on the weather and other circumstances. I have got some 
CHEQUES with me, so if you need anything, don’t hesitate to let me 
know roughly how much you want. Your wife must not and shall not 
want for anything; if there’s something she would like to have or 
something you know would give her pleasure, then have it she must. 

Tussy dropped in to see us the day before yesterday, so I accompa- 
nied her home to fetch the books and drink the inevitable glass of Pil- 
sener with her. Here one can pretty well do without German beer, for 
the Birrer ALE in the little café on the pier is excellent, and has a head 
on it like German beer. 

Write again soon and tell me how things are. 

Warm regards from all of us to your wife and Jenny. Pumps sends 
her special love to Johnny, as do I. Our regards, too, to Longuet. 

Your 

F. E.
