This view of the castle at Halton is taken from Halton Brook. The path ran up to Main Street and bypassed Halton Brow, which is to the left off-picture. The lower part of this path still exists and passes behind the bungalows at the bottom of Halton Brow. This is the same picture as the previous one, but this one has been coloured.

The message reads:-

Shall not be able to meet you as arranged. Will write you later.
Returning to Liverpool tonight Monday.
Love I.B.
