7Dear Mr Hodgson
8
9Thank you very much but I don’t want to hear Mrs ?PFawcet – I
10would pay a good deal not to hear her! You know I am a peace woman, &
11I loath these war like women! She came out to South Africa during the
12war & tried to urge the English on in their most merciless courses
13towards the Boers?
14
15Sh I hardly ever see my niece; she is absorbed in searching for a flat
16to settle the family down, before her mother arrives from South Africa.

18Yours ever
