95 Sloane Street Saturday Dearest Father. I have had a wild 24 hours. I worked at the Geog. Soc. all yesterday and in the evening and went to Red Hill, getting there at 8. A young man (one of my fellow students - I think his name is Fairweather) met me at the station and we walked up onto the Common where we met Mr Reeves. Then we took observations on stars for 2 hours. It was wonderfully calm and warm but the moon was so bright that even the big stars were a little difficult to see. However I took a number of observations and shall work them out on Monday.
I got back after midnight, very hungry, and this morning I was back at Red Hill before 10 and spent 3 hours taking bearings for a map with Mr Reeves. That has to be plotted out too on Monday at the Geog. Soc. I got home at 2.30, very hungry again and now I'm going off to the Babington Smiths.

I saw Mary Ward for half an hour before lunch yesterday - that had to be fitted in too. Indeed I saw all the family. Mr Ward is better and has gone back to work, but he is not quite well. He has occasional brief attacks of faintness - they don't want this mentioned. But his German doctor says it's anaemia and that there's nothing wrong.

Please tell Mother I was much relieved by her telegram and by her letter. I do hope Maurice will be able to come home this week. I still feel rather a beast at abandoning him.

No, I shan't go to Miss Moses's meeting. I think it very good of you to go. I have made enquiries at Cook's and find that there are good boats from Marseilles [Marseille] on Nov 14 and Nov 28. I should like to catch the first if the Clarendon Press permits. Ever your affectionate daughter Gertrude

Mary wants me to go to Stocks[?] on Nov 8 to meet Lord Milner. I have accepted provisionally.
