My dear Child

Thank God you are back safely so far! I want you very much. I dare not go out visiting and you and [Bipy?] must go to the new married Ladies in Oxford for me. You must take my place. I can well think you have worn out all your clothes that you are in rags. It is so awkward to be without money that I send £10 to refit a little. It is horribly cold here and my eye threatens again. Caroline is all but deaf entirely - this is very sad she certainly is more deaf in cold weather. The [?] Charles are coming for the commemoration they are delighted at the idea. We will discuss the Bazaar matter [?] as it will be I think I should like you to help Mrs [Tiddeman?] for Mrs Liddell is to take a part and I suspect that makes the Oxford Ladies [?] it down. Mrs T has made me some beautiful things I hear. I hope Frank's Lay studentship is safe I have my misgivings about it. Be sure you bring the rest of the Bazaar things if they are not sent before.
