London June 14 th Saturday.
My dear Fanny,
I am engaged in London for every
day until and including the 26 th instant except
the 16th the 18th the 19th and the 20th. I shall
avail myself of those free days to visit Oxford
and Cambridge – perhaps Staffordshire – I have
declined all invitations beyond the 26th, and
on the 27th I shall bid a final farewell
to this great capitol – make a hurried excur-
sion to Manchester Birmingham and Sheffield
and if Lady Napier
Birth: 1823-12-20 Death: 1911-08-24
shall then have
gone to Scotland I shall look in upon Selkirk
and get a glimpse of Abbotsford and of
Melrose Abbey and then – I shall proceed
to Paris where I shall stay probably ten
days or two weeks – deciding then according
to circumstances where to go next, London does
not seem as weary of me as it ought, but I am
beginning to feel that my time might be better
spent now elsewhere –
