". . . Since I came back I have been so overwhelmed by six months arrears of business, intensely complicated by the illness and absence of Wells, that I have been constantly afflicted with a revolving nightmare. I hope however to send round 'the Duke's Motto' this next week. I have been here--there--everywhere--and (most of all) nowhere--from the time of my re-beholding Euston Square."
