To Bella From Keith

Dear Bella just a P.C. to let you know that I am getting on alright. Hope you are the same and that Aunt is still improving. The weather here is very wet and cold. I expect that Jane has left for Maidenhead by now. How was Mr Murray when you were down. I got the letter that you readdressed safely. Did Emma say anything to you about me. Have you heard from Tom lately. Well Bella this is all for the present. Your affectionate cousin Keith.
