MY OWN DEAREST QUEENIE, I did not like to write direct, lest there should be any mistake, especially as my paper is not very suitable. It looks as if they were going to keep me here for a while longer, probably till a month or so after the opening of session, in order that they may get their new rules more easily.
I do not know what to say, my darling, about your going to Brighton, but Queenie will decide best for herself. I hope Wifie will not feel much worried about not seeing me so soon as she hoped. Her husband is very well indeed, and in the best of spirits.
I do not like your going to London so often, it may hurt you. Is there any address you could get nearer home, so that you would not have to go so far?
My poor little Wifie, I wish I could be with you, but Queenie must be good and take care of herself.
It looks to-day as if D. would go out soon; in that case it would facilitate our release. YOUR OWN KING.

Have received your two letters postmarked E. Be cautious about writing for a few days. I am very well, and trust my darling is well.
Rumours about legal adviser being arrested, but will send you another address to-morrow.
