Thank you, dear, for your most interesting letter. I glad of all its
7: news. I hope you will go to Cape Town. It will be lovely when you are
8: able to come back & take over the house, & the mother can give all her
9: time to the open air work which she loves, as I do. Its quite strange
10: to think of Bob as such a big boy. I do long to see you all, and more
11: & more as time passes & there seems less & less hope. I think the
12: lower farm must be lovely in winter. My nephew Oliver is still away
13: fighting in France, & my two nieces are soon going off to Egypt to
14: nurse.

Love to you all
