He has been staying with Mr Grote, 'a clever man' and the Commissioner of William's division. Latterly he stayed with the Cowries. He notes the steamer is arriving and in a postscript writes that stereos [photographs] are coming in the next mail for her and he asks if his law books have been sent. |
