Russell House,

Broadway,

Worcestershire[1]

Sunday

Dear Charlie:--

I came home last night and find your letter. If you can’t come a day or two later do come tomorrow Monday. We have several people in the house but we have room enough. We would rather have you alone of course [page 2] but otherwise it makes little difference. As we sometimes have difficulty with horses etc. it will be best for you to wire to Railway Hotel Evesham for fly to take you to Broadway. We can send you back. In case you don’t wire just run up to the Railway Hotel near by the station and interview Miss Saunders who is the proprietor & a very nice girl. There are the athletic sports in the field back of our [page 3] house on Wednesday and twill be well worth seeing – such events are rare in the country. Wire us when you will come. I don’t know where James [note: Henry James] is now. He often comes down here.

Be sure and come!!

Yours in haste

Frank Millet

Notes

1. Millet’s fortunes had obviously dramatically changed by this time to allow him to live in Russell House. He intended the estate as only a summer place and later as a place for Lily and the children to live while he was away from them on his travels.
