Description:
‘My dear Wife,
Here I am writing, which I have not done since my return, on the easy chair in my study with my feet on the fender & the two dogs with me. Ling asleep behind me on the mat; Choo restless wishing to replace the writing board on my knee. She declined all her dinner but she seems fat enough without it! Ada tells me she took them out this morning & afternoon for a short run. I got in somewhat past seven & had rather a slow meal as I was reading Miss Elderton’s lecture for Girton. It seems quite good but I think too short. There is little news at the Laboratory. I had a visit from a Dr Wilson, who brought me Starmer’s[?] paper on albinism at last. It looks quite good & has plenty of material. Also Mr Carr Saunders came to tea, so I did not make as much progress as I should have like with Yule, but I have got about 30 pages written. We have still, however, lots of arithmetic in hand. I enclose a long cutting about Jocker[?], which is rather comic. I am afraid I shall never get you a chance of having yourself praised at a public dinner!’
