DEAR JULIAN,

I'm so sorry, but I couldn't make head nor tail of the answer.

What I was told clearly was that you were likely to be in some

trouble to-night about midnight. I don't know what sort of

trouble, but somebody who lives at the back of your house may

have something to do with it. Do take care of yourself. I trust

you to do that for my sake. I think you are sensible enough to do

it, now you are forewarned. Come up to-morrow to breakfast and

reassure me,

Yours, in ever so much of a shudder,
