BR thanks Davies for his letter of the previous day, informing him that he is entirely with him on all he's done.

BR tells Davies that he is willing to continue paying Dora's alimony, regardless of her actions, providing that she is reasonable about the children, noting that he's willing to have them spend half their holidays with her. "Obviously, when she said that at present I am not under a legal obligation to pay her, she was admitting inchastity. If Meynell is right that money is what troubles her, her mind can be set at rest. Given a reasonable arrangement about the children, I should not try to deprive her of the alimony."

BR encloses a letter from Helm (not present), and asks Davies if there's a reason for their not sending out their facts to the King's Proctor at once.
