Mr. Portal asked me to explain the situation to you myself, and I refused, which was wrong of me. It might have been easier for you to have received the news from me rather than from him, as I now realise—but I did it from the best of motives, my knowledge of how things stood coming entirely from hearsay. As it turns out, I need not have had any such scruples, and I assure you, my dear friend, that I wish I had been less nice about the matter. Do forgive me, and also Mr. Portal, who blames himself for imparting what he knew in such a forthright manner. I do not know how else he could have said what had to be imparted, and I know you too well to believe that you would hold this against him.

I have heard that Lady Fanny is gone away to the seaside; I hope you have good news of her daughter; I am sure that sea air will quickly restore the child to health. Meanwhile, do not sit at home moping—although I am very sure you never mope—but visit us here, where you will find agreeable and intelligent company enough to please anyone. It would gratify me exceedingly to see you here, and Mr. Portal joins me in wishing very much to meet you again.
