  My dear Charlie
  It is very good of you to give Dorothy "up-pittin' for the night".
  The rest of her party travel from London by night, but we found that if she joined them at Grantham, she would have 3 wretched hours to wait, and so decided on the day journey.
  She will leave here at 10.4 tomorrow, & reach you in 12 hours.
  Her steamer the "St. Sunniva" leaves for Shetland at 9, so I fear you will have to give her breakfast in good time on Thursday.
  Have you any old, stiff rod you co. lend her
