Dear Warder,
Bertie has asked me to reply to your letter, as he is lying on his back resting a tiresome sprain.
Your kind suggestion that we might have commissions in England for you filled my head to overflowing with wild schemes for the illicit importation in your otherwise blameless luggage of innumerable objects that we long for, from the notes on Nietzsche and Schopenhauer2 in the bottom right hand drawer of my desk to our large red dog, and including face cream and bath oliver biscuits; but these inconsiderable trifles would not really satisfy us, and you can’t bring the whole of England, which would, so we must rest content.
We will certainly call upon you both and upon Mr. Lunt to look after John and Kate, because we are so anxious that they should at once be given the best possible impression of America and Americans.
Please give my love to Polly.
Yours sincerely,
P. Russell.
