Wed.

Dearest Moll. Thank you so much for your letter. I was much interested to hear about Mr Gosse’s lecture – it must have been quite delightful. 

I came here yesterday to hear Uncle Tom give a lecture on the Women of Homer – quite excellent it was, most amusing; I don’t think I ever heard a better lecture. I go home tomorrow. There is a concert here tonight to which we are all going but I have not been able to discover what is being given except a symphony by the late lamented What’s his name, brother of Florence’s [?] [?], which I hear is good. 

Don’t you think it would be awful fun to send Xmas cards to our guides? Ask Elsa. I should like to send one to Klotz and one to Pittracher – if this smiles on her. I wish she would look about for two very nice and suitable ones and we will send them when you come home in the name of all of us. I think they would be much pleased. Fran Wildt we might send one to, Franz, and the Rudolf if I only knew his name! Do think Herr Rudolf – [?] of the Solstein Hutte, Zirl, would find him?

I think it ought to.

Your affectionate sister,

Gertrude
