Your Uncle visited him yesterday, and at six he came to Laeken to dine with us.

I found him looking well, and he was as usual very good-natured and kind.

I need not tell you that conversation did not flag between us, and that I thought of you almost the whole time.

In the course of the evening he took leave.

He left Brussels this morning early, on his way to Calais, and I suppose you will hear of him before this letter reaches you.
