It was from Iris.
"MY DEAR UNCLE," she wrote: "Neither you nor Mr.Bulmer should have any objection to my passing the few remaining weeks of my liberty in the manner best pleasing to myself.

On Sunday evening, in your presence, Mr.Bulmer urged me to fix an early date for our marriage.

Tell him that I shall marry him when the _Andromeda_ returns to England from South America.

You will remember that you promised last year to take me to Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Ayres this summer; I have been learning Spanish so as to help our sight-seeing.

Unfortunately, business prevents you from keeping that promise, but there is no reason why I should not go.
