I took it instinctively, though I did not know the hand.

It was from Mr.Currie Ghyrkins.
_Saturday morning_.
MY DEAR MR.

GRIGGS--If you have returned to Simla, I should be glad to see you for half an hour on a matter of urgent importance.

I would come to you if I could.

My niece, Miss Westonhaugh, is, I am sorry to say, dangerously ill .-- Sincerely yours, A.CURRIE GHYRKINS.
It was dated two days before, for to-day was Monday.
