Just near Hyde Park Gate but still quiet and peaceful. A respite after hours reading letters from STC's elder brothers who were writing to their parents at Ottery St Mary from India in the 1770s. They had not heard from 'home' for a year and John especially worried about sending money back to the family; there was a threat that a younger sister might be sent into 'trade' and have to stand behind a counter. Both John and Francis died in India without seeing the family again.On the other hand Ben Carson surfaced from East Timor with the expansive email to the effect that India went well and East Timor was 'good.'
