This afternoon we followed a match con-
Mr Wells slipped and sprained his ankle, but he followed the match anyhow. He hobbled along on a cane, right up in the front line.

Fannie
Mr. Hall + Mr Lawrence [leave Monday]
It is very of good of you to suggest that we lengthen our stay. If you were here, I would do it but it is out of all question under the circumstances.

We took it easy today; played [9] holes with one club this morning and this afternoon we [were] part of the "biggest" gallery that [ever] followed a golf game. Four stars played [- little old]. Fan was all eyes. She isn't missing much. I [have] not
Love and kisses and all sorts of best wishes from
