My dear by the time you have this letter you may well have seen L. & possibly W. Q. may show up shorty. I visited Q. on Saturday. You can imagine my surprise when he met me on the train & said “I know you won’t believe me but I’m leaving for home at 4.” Well gee he was as twittering as a June bride. Could scarcely believe it himself. We stopped in town and bought 2 necklaces—amber—for the girls and a cannon for his boy. I bet [Q.’s wife] is mad when he teaches him to fire the thing off and goes away & leaves her with it.
