Alameda. Sunday

Dear Edward. - It's a shame to waste
this page - so I will just add a
few lines of good wishes & to tell
you we often think of you &
speak of "Begoo" (?) & wish him
"Bon chance" & all the other
"Bon choses" that can come to him.

It was delightful to hear of
your visit to Winchester -- We
bicycled there from Southampton
where we used to live, at least
our house was at Woolston, but
our church was at Southampton --

If you are ever there, please go
& see some very dear friends of
ours, the Heaths, they [illegible] be de-
lighted [underlined] to see you -- The family
consists of Mrs. Heath & several dau-
ghters (no longer young & pretty,
but old parties like myself!)
Mr. Heath, Dorothy's god. father [godfather] died
recently -- the address is, "Finchess" [Finches]
The Avenue - Southampton -- The house
is near the Stag Gates -- With love
from us all, yours affectly [affectionately?]
