My dear Father

I have settled to come this way. 2 of us id est<1> Mallock<2> & I have taken a fly to Hanwell where we shall catch a slow train to Reading, where we shall get into the express which I usually come by & come on; he goes to Plymouth & so will pass through Chippenham Will you be so good as to send to meet me at Chippenham, when this express comes in. You will see by a Bradshaw<3> the exact time, which I am not quite sure of about.

To day is a holiday. Next Tuesday is the day we go home being the 7th April.
