What a wrethced day it is for yr journey to Chester! – I found Frank & Dilberoglue quite set on going over. Why they cd not go to L-pool [Liverpool], is as mysterious as why the Leopard sits on ohe last spot of its tail – I had to wait there quarters of an hour at the Railway having of course missed the Train we aimed at - it only waited twenty minutes to six, as I came up +++ Ford Road & when I got home. I had only five minutes to dress. I never looked at myself in the glass but put on my velvet gown just as it wd go.

I cd hardly help laughing to see how people instinctively find their points of sympathy – he had not been to see you act but he felt a sympathy with you for what you had done for yr family - he said he had heard of that. & it happens that all his family were thrown on him. & he behaved in a most worthy way - he was intended for the Church & had a decided inclination for it. but while he was at college his father died in embarrassed cicumstances. he had a large retail business & this man was obliged to leave college & go [3436] behind the counter, & to drudge years & years & retrieve affairs & to being the rest of the family, hating it [crossed out] business [inserted] of like the Devil. but he did it - & has adopted two of his sister's children beside. finally made his fortune & retired & is extremely respected as he deserves to be & there was yr point of interest to him, he knew what it was you had done & cd appreciate it.
