Dearest N.
I am in dreadful need of your counsel. 226 Pray come to me when you can -- morning, afternoon, or evening. I shall dismiss anyone else.
You will probably not get this till the Greek Kalends, for I never know where you are. If I address you at Cornhill, you will be at the club, if I address you at the club, you will be at Weybridge, and if I address you there you will be gone on a distant visit.
Your much worried
Aunt.
