Clarendon 28/4/31

Dear Doris:

Dot has drawn a letter for you on the back, and did practically the whole of it herself after insisting that she couldn't. We were glad to get yr. letter today & learn that your father was so much better than you had feared at first. I think he ought to do everything you say for his own sake. It will be a severe wrench to give up the assessing work but he certainly ought to do it. I should think, tho', that he might keep up the bank work, which can't be nearly as severe. [[strikethrough]] I don't suppose he can afford to keep Jim on in the store if he is to be there all the time himself. It will be hard for him to let him go, but I don't see how he can do otherwise. [[/strikethrough]] Changed on rereading your letter.

You had better come back Friday night, I should think. It would be more economical to take the night train & save a day's time at the office. I should go out to Cambridge once or twice again, if you [[strikethrough]] , [/strikethrough]] have time, & I will ask White about allowing a day's time for it. I think he will be glad to.

We are all well & shall be glad to see you back, but are glad that you went up.  I wish you could get your mother rested a little.  Are all the leaves raked away from the museum? 

Love, SFB

Transcription Notes:
Last paragraph: "but are glad that you went up." Or is it "but we glad that you went up." Hard to tell
