The Grove Harrow Dec 12. 1855
My dear Sir
Your first letter only came to me on Saty evening: and I write by return of post on Monday.
I hope your son will not suffer from travelling [sic] in this cold weather: but it seems a little less severe this afternoon, as the wind is now S.W.
I hope to write again tomorrow or next day.
