London - Aug 20th [c.1879]

Dear Mary

I met Miss Smythe in Westminster Abbey Sunday & she gave me yr address. I am with my nephew & tomorrow we go to "Schlangenbad Germany Villa Baumann,["] for the cure - for I am still far from well. Write to me there, & tell me how long you will remain. I wish we could have met - for we have been in England & Scotland some time. I am in the midst of packing - I have only time for a word - Give my love to Miss Odger - or Esther "Aunt Jeanie"! I hate London - long for trees & grass

Affecly -

Mildred Lee
