Mr own dear Edward

You can't imagine how
delighted we were to get that
telegram yesterday! We knew
it was such a relief to you to
your suspense & uncertainty.

We wanted to answer at once [underlined]
& were about to start to Calaveras
where we had promised to pilot
one of Jacks business associates in the
firm Mr & Mrs Mackay who had
invited Jack & E. to go picnicing &
had never been at Calaveras.
