going out again except in the garden. I hope we shall not have the same over again tonight. It is really quite laughable that my illness allways begins as it gets dark. I do not know what I would do without Ellen Paul for when I get nervous she and Jessie laugh at me and keep up my spirits. Jessie is so cross with you you may expect a scold from her when you come home. She says she will never forgive you for being away just now. I must now conclude and have another hunt for the bill. What an old plague my Donald is to give me so much trouble. Goodbye my own darling husband. God bless and preserve you and believe me Your own affectionate Susan D McLean
