glad to hear that you are quite well again. You have no idea how anxious your little slave was about you. I have had no visitors since you left but the Pauls and Miss Kelly. Miss Hart and Miss Dorset also called once. I am very glad the people have the good sense not to call yet for I am not yet able to see anyone without painful feelings and poor Papa does not like to be disturbed when he comes home.I was just going to forget however the two visitors I had this morning. I am sure you will be rather surprised when you hear who they were, Mr Pelhcut [sic] and Miss Howe. I was quite astonished when I saw them coming up. Mr Pelhcut [sic] seemed much disappointed when I told him that I did not expect you before Friday or Saturday as he wished you to be present at the marriage. I don't think how if you had been here
