Only one word, my darling, to say we have ridden the whole day in the train, & now I am in bed for an hour to rest me before going on the platform. You & the children have been in my mind all the day, & I have been very homesick, & still am. The I ate a lot of chestnutsⒶemendation that I found in my overcoatⒶemendation pockets, & that brought the children very near to me, for all three of them contributed to that stock. I love you, dear, & the time seems very long that remains yet betwixt us & meeting.
