6 I hope that day with me in town didn’t quite knock you up. A postcard
7from Betty told me you were all having a delightful stay at stay at
8Miller’s Point.

10 I wonder what their plans are. I am always afraid I shall hear they
11have rushed back to Europe with out my having realy seen them. I wish
12they could have come up here while it was still cool & comparatively
13pleasant. No our hot winds & dust have just begun.

15 I do hope, darling Lucy, the winter has not tried you too much in Cape
16Town. How is your husband? Betty didn’t mention the baby, so I hope it
17is flourishing finely. It has such a remarkably fine strong forehead.
18Perhaps it’s going to be one of our big women
19
20 ^in the time to come. Just send me a card to tell me how you all are.
