He then writes of his brother, supposing that he is now well though he hasn't heard from him. Manning compares London life with country life in some detail and includes a description of the delights of killing a pig. He has met Mrs and the Misses Galloway - he has been instructing them on places in the world. He keeps planning to go to London but then postpones. He would like to see Charles Lloyd.
