I

want

you

to

come

home

,

my

dear

old

comrade

,

and

to

buy

a

house

near

here

.

You

have

done

your

day

's

work

,

and

have

lots

of

money

now

,

and

there

is

a

place

for

sale

quite

close

which

would

suit

you

admirably

.

Do

come

;

the

sooner

the

better

;

you

can

finish

writing

the

story

of

our

adventures

on

board

ship

.

We

have

refused

to

tell

the

tale

till

it

is

written

by

you

,

for

fear

lest

we

shall

not

be

believed

.

If

you

start

on

receipt

of

this

you

will

reach

here

by

Christmas

,

and

I

book

you

to

stay

with

me

for

that

.

Good

is

coming

,

and

George

;

and

so

,

by

the

way

,

is

your

boy

Harry

(

there

's

a

bribe

for

you

)

.

I

have

had

him

down

for

a

week

's

shooting

,

and

like

him

.

He

is

a

cool

young

hand

;

he

shot

me

in

the

leg

,

cut

out

the

pellets

,

and

then

remarked

upon

the

advantages

of

having

a

medical

student

with

every

shooting

party

!

Good-bye

,

old

boy

;

I

ca

n't

say

any

more

,

but

I

know

that

you

will

come

,

if

it

is

only

to

obligeYour

sincere

friend

,

Henry

Curtis

.

P.

S.

--

The

tusks

of

the

great

bull

that

killed

poor

Khiva

have

now

been

put

up

in

the

hall

here

,

over

the

pair

of

buffalo

horns

you

gave

me

,

and

look

magnificent

;

and

the

axe

with

which

I

chopped

off

Twala

's

head

is

fixed

above

my

writing-table

.

I

wish

that

we

could

have

managed

to

bring

away

the

coats

of

chain

armour

.

Do

n't

lose

poor

Foulata

's

basket

in

which

you

brought

away

the

diamonds

.

C.

To-day

is

Tuesday

.

There

is

a

steamer

going

on

Friday

,

and

I

really

think

that

I

must

take

Curtis

at

his

word

,

and

sail

by

her

for

England

,

if

it

is

only

to

see

you

,

Harry

,

my

boy

,

and

to

look

after

the

printing

of

this

history

,

which

is

a

task

that

I

do

not

like

to

trust

to

anybody

else

.
