I am afraid that you will think me unpardonably negligent in not havinganswered your letter dated 7, December sooner, but when I have told you thereason, I trust you will be convinced that the neglect was excusable. When yourletter arrived, I was just in Hong Kong. As my family could not forward it to meduring my absence, it has been, therefore, lying on my desk until the momentwhen I took it up. Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to youthese few lines to express my deep regret.
I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to giveyou an account to of them when I see you next.
Sincerely yours,
