There are two or three pleasant people on board, the [[?]]'s and Lady Colebrook! who seems to be at a very loose end, and emigrating for an indefinite time - 

Your books have been a great blessing - I am deep in the "Wings of the Dove" - and obligated to have read the mysterious

Great Good Place again - Please let me know if anything came of the meeting between May & Mr James.

My foot is slowly improving & I can now wear a boot -

I shall be awfully anxious to know how bad these Raids have been, & if they have been anywhere near you -

Yours ever
J. S. Sargent

Transcription Notes:
"The Great Good Place" by Henry James, one of his friends. Did he really write that he was deep in the writings of H James, not "H Don"? He was also reading "The Wings of the Dove", another Henry James book... so nothing about "Don"
