Dear Bessie
Mr. Chapman finds on renewing his study of the map, that Ockley lies considerably south of the railway to Dorking. Hence it will be the best economy of railway and omnibus travelling for us to go to Dorking and accept your kind offer to bring the cart for us. We shall get to Dorking at 5.52.
Miss Hennell has promised to come tomorrow so our party will be four in number. No time to say another word more
Ever your loving
Marian
Thursday Evening.
