My dear Engels,

You will see from the address that we are once more at Ramsgate. I suppose you know that last Tuesday Mohr & Jenny went to look for houses.—Mama & I left London yesterday, & after a very pleasant journey arrived here safe and sound. I say a pleasant journey, though I dont think Mama thought so. The sea was very rough, the waves dashing over the ship & wetting | everybody.—All the passengers with the exception of one lady, myself, & several gentlemen, were sea-sick. This lady and I climbed up just by the side of the Captain’s deck, & there we sat down. It was great fun. This morning I turned out before six o’clock in the morning & walked about till nine. I intend to go to the sands now & take a good bathe.—Yesterday Papa had a letter from Kugelmann .—He writes about that book to which Rossa’s likeness is to be prefixed. He thanks very much for what you wrote, but says he has not got the likeness.—Now Jane sent it shortly after your preface was sent—so I suppose they did n’t get it. Would you mind sending them your copy—you know that one that was given with the “Irishman”.— | We shall be much obliged to you if you will.—Now I must finish, for I’m in a hurry to go out again

So with best love to all

Believe me to be
Your affectionate
Tussy
