Paid.

I should go to Ipswich on Saturday night having arranged to that effect, but I hope for a line from you to arrive on Sunday morning. I pray you let me not be disappointed – every feeling and intention are absorbed by the vortex of "what the Physicians call anxiety". I but live from post to post. —
We will afterwards go to Ips[wic]h together. At any rate just now I cannot do Ipswich. —
