Summary
Will see her sooner than expected, for it seems he will be appointed to post in London to head off war. Feels it is his duty, though nothing could be further from his personal preferences. Must trust to Providence. Say nothing of possible nomination until it appears in papers. Asks her to be resigned and composed. Thinks mission may be completed in time for him to return in fall.
