My dear Mr. Huish -

Notes:

1.  [16/30 November 1895]
'v' is inserted in pencil by another hand at the top of the card, and therefore it may date from after a letter similarly marked '(iv)', and dated 15 November 1895, #02961. JW worked at the fishing port of Lyme Regis between September and December 1895.
