1Dear Mrs Hadden

3Thank you very much I should have liked to go, but have just got a new
4boy in this afternoon, & must get him into the way of doing things for
5the first few days, so can’t go out.

7What a very nice interesting face that Mrs Greenley’s had I met at
8your house.

3No, I have no “At Home” day. My health is so uncertain that all my
4friends might often come & I not be able to see them. But couldn’t you
5& Mr Hadden come down sometimes in the evening? We are in every
6evening, as I am seldom able to go out at night, & I think one enjoys
7a chat in the evening better than any time. I am returning the books,
8with many thanks, & also many thanks for the lovely flowers.

10Yours very sincerely

13Please tell Mr Hadden I have some more of Carpenters books he can have
14when he has done with those, if he would like to see them. Our books
15have just arrived.

5Dear Charley

7Would you do me the great favour of address^ing^ the enclosed letter to
8the best land ^agent^ in Victoria West. We should like to get a farm
9some where in that part. Do you know if any farm near the railway in
10the neighbourhood of Nel’s Port at which Iwe might get? This part of
11the country does not suit my health at all.
12
13It would be very nice to be nearer you all. As I hope you are all well.
14 I should so much like to see your little ones.
15
16Cron sends his hearty greetings to you all; he is very anxious to meet
17his new relations.
