(2) Thursday: 8vo. 2 pages, Taplow, England, in part: ".I'm so sorry about this afternoon - but I had a wire from my husband, who is away on holiday, asking me to see to some important business for him - which I had to do. I am awfully sorry - I will come on Thursday next." (3) October 31st, 8vo. 3 pages, 132 Sloane, London, in part: ".I'm anxious to have some more singing lessons.
