Yes. It read:
"Family still at Penzance. Persuaded friend that letter was only intended to create unpleasantness with uncle. He took same view and returned to town. Will say nothing."

At a branch post office he dispatched two telegrams.
The first to Evelyn:
"Will remain in the North for a few days. Too busy to write to-day. Full letter to-morrow. Love.
"Philip."
The second, to Mr. Abingdon:
"Your message through Miss Atherley noted. Please suspend all inquiries. Affair quite unforeseen. Will explain by letter. Address to-day, Station Hotel, York.
"Anson."
Then he entered a bank and asked for the manager.
"My name may be known to you," he said to the official, at the same time handing his card.
