She writes of the burden he carried because no one else would make any decision but merely thrust everything upon him. She was anxious that he should give up every other aspect of the work but the expedition and concentrate on that so that he might do it well. She mentions his anxiety that the steamers would not arrive in London for another month and reports that he had just read another attack in The Times but was relaxed about it and had enjoyed her letter. She refers to the support of William Forster, who had assumed Andrew's former function. (Copy.)
