MS: Yale. Hitherto unpublished.
Strand.
Dearest Cara
I send you Sara's letter at once though there is little in it besides her plans about our doings. Of course I came safely enough 908 -- explain it which way you will -- [Caesar and his fortunes,] 909 or, Naught is never in danger. We have just dined and my weary body is capable barely of digestion.
My room looks charmingly comfortable -- Dr. Hodgson 910 is here, and a Mr. Jarvis, 911 an American, evidently a noodle. There is besides a little old-young lady, a cousin of Mr. Chapman's. 912 Mr. C. met me at the station and I had no trouble. Bless you, dear creatures. Do not forget your
Pollian.
