Part 2

...............Winnie & Emma went to Brompton last Tuesday to her old school to see the musical drill of her children that she had prepared for the entertainment – she was so pleased they did it so splendidly – when I saw you I told you that she was doing nothing but “Musicing”

I think Win & Annie Gamble are going to the Royal Academy next Saturday – I am glad to say that she is much better (I mean Winnie) than when I saw you. We think she will be happy in her new school, she is going to tell you all the particulars herself. My dear Georgie, we think & told of you and wonder how you and the dear boy are getting on, trust both of you are well, hope you will write very soon tomorrow.

When do you break up? Win’s school keeps on until the very end of the month.

All going well we have made up our minds to spend a day with you and our little boy during the holiday and we hope you will manage to come over to Highclere. Perhaps he will let you bring the boy, “live in hopes”.

Have you got your servant yet – u shall be thankful to see the back of these worrying worthless. I hope it will look all the better for the trouble. I am waiting to put the kettle on for a cup of tea and they are just in the way – Dear Georgie you said you wanted me to so something to a black skirt for you, I want you to send it to me I will do the best I can with it and be pleased to do it. I will pay the carriage mind now I must stop with fondest love from Pa & Win with mine parson all.

Loving Matu

Write Soon

p.s. tell us how you got on with that storm your way. Wish we were going to see you tomorrow for a long chat – our visits are so short we cant say half enough can we! Good Bye take care of yourself & boy. I shall be looking for news of you. I feel so queer.
