4 My dearest Katie!

6 Your letter which I receive last week was most welcome to me though I
7can't think how it is you had not received my last letter written the
8week after I got here. Perhaps the person with whom I sent the letter
9in forgot to post it. I am obliged here to avail myself of any & every
10opportunity in to Cradock or I should never get or receive a letter at
11all, & I am afraid they will often go astray.

13 I am getting on very well & like the life here much better than at
14first, but I have not been able to take any extra pupils which of
15course has been a disappointment to me.
16
17 The Fouchees are most kind & the girls very fond of me & getting on
18very well with their English
19
20 I hear that your trip to England has been put off for a time. What are
21you going to do with all the little ones? You will hardly be able to
22take them with you it would make it more of a labour than a pleasure.
23
24 Mr Muller has just told me that he is going in to Cradock so I must be
25contented to send you these few lines or nothing this week.
26
27 With love to the little people. I am ever dear Katie
28 Your most loving sister
