My dear Fanny
I am sure you will wonder why I have not answered your letter, but the fact is I have been very ill since you left & have had Dr Hawkins attending me, added to my head trouble I have had a very bad attack of indigestion but am now thankful to tell you I am getting better, next week I am going to the Mountains for a change & trust that will put me quite right. I was so sorry to hear from Herbert you were all so inconvenienced just at the last by Mrs Costin, we were served in precisely the same way in Paris & it was done just to keep us a week longer, but they did not succeed as I took my linen away rough dry, it was most fortunate you had friends to meet you in Melbourne
Ted will not be convinced he was wrong re Sir James Stirling and the Hall family coming to West Australia he quite thinks his aunt was infalible [sic] & nothing will convince him to the contrary.
I am sorry your case will not be settled before Feby, it is a long time to be kept in suspense. I shall be very glad to hear when your House is either let or sold & that you are comfortably settled in your new home — pray excuse this short letter as my unfortunate head gets quite muddled whenever I either read or write. Herbert unites with me in best love to all.
Believe me my dear Fanny
Your affectionate cousin
Amy Gibson
