We therefore decided we would not have a big wedding, which in those days must be followed by a round of festivities, lasting sometimes a fortnight.

I have been having a wow-wow time of late, or you should have heard from me. As it is, I shall scribble a hasty sheet of Hieroglyphics, and put in it as much of myself as I can. Mme.
