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