I particularly want to go for many reasons, especially to give a friendly hug to my G.O.H.! But although I am much better for Ramsgate from which I have just come back ... I'm still so greatly nervous that I don't like to trust myself away from home - it's a sudden giddiness & sickness that comes over me without any warning - I've not had one now for a fortnight, but I am always fearing them, so I haven't ... if I find myself much better as I really hope to be, I shall go, & take my chance of a whitebait & a pea I hope you are the better for your long trip ...", 2 sides 8vo., New Grove House, Hampstead Heath headed paper, 1st June very small tear from former mounting not affecting the text
