Dear Tom –

[…]

I am very sorry to hear that you should meet with such an unfortunate accident when your trip was near complete & the opportunities from obtaining further “snaps” nil. However you might have been drowned you devil, & that was not the first time you were bumped. Eh!!

[…]

We would have been very glad to have seen you again this summer, but hope you will stay much longer next season. Did you sit down on any more paint boards? I had a lovely time at Jackson's & the fishing was immense.

[…]

Yours sincerely,
J. M. McRuer
