My dear Husband,
As it is not quite dinner-time yet, I will send you a few lines as you will want to know how we are getting on.
I was glad to receive your hurried line & May’s letter, please give her my love & thank her for writing. I am sorry to hear about your Mother being poorly again. Charlotte’s letter confirmed what I had already heard from Polly when I saw her on Monday; I hope she will soon get stronger.
Georgie seems to be enjoying himself with his little cousins, Fanny lets Freddy have a holiday while we are here, so the two boys are able to play together. Yesterday Fanny had some young people to dinner & tomorrow Polly, Mary, Harry & Dora Coleman are coming; Fred takes Anna to France today. We had a nice drive this afternoon & so far we have been most fortunate in the weather. You can expect us on Friday by the 1.35. I don’t suppose I shall write again. Give my love to all the dear children & remember me kindly to Miss Fabling & with fond love
Believe me, ever
Your loving wife
Eugénie N Sladden
