3I have had a letter from Aunt Betty every week but she has not told me
4when Mrs Molteno & Margaret & all the rest are coming out. Are your
5father & mother coming out before the others. If you should be coming
6to Town I would be so glad to see you. I wonder if Aunt Betty will
7come out with the others I suppose May & Freddie will go straight up
8to Elgin.
