6 Do let me have just an answer on enclosed bit of paper as to how you &
7the little ones are. I know it is so impossible for you to write put
8just answers to the enclosed questions. You know you ought never to
9have let us all come & fill the house when you were in such a delicate
10state, with your hands so full. But some how I can’t help being
11anxious especially about Santa. Has she cut her teeth I wonder. We go
12down to parliament on the l before the 10th of March when parliament
13opens. I do wish there was a chance of your all being down at
14Stellenbosch then.
