I am very sorry to say that I fear we shall not see you when you come to Keston, for we have almost made up our minds to be off next week to sea-side for a month to see what the change will do for Etty, though I have not much hope. Your account of the Donkey has interested me much & would you be so kind as to have another look at it & observe whether its eyes are pink; but as you say it is rather cream-coloured than white, it probably is not an albino. Did the owner rear it; if so please ask him whether it was born of same colour & had then no stripes. Anytime will do for an answer. I am sorry to hear about your house difficulties.
