7 Thank you for your sweet letter. Oh what should I do without you &
8Miss Greene.

10 Yes, if Cron goes to Parliament perhaps I will be able to come & join
11you somewhere. Perhaps we could go to Kat River, Miss Greene knows how
12beautiful it is, & I’ll show you all the places I played in when I
13was a child. I have always thought it would be so beautiful to go
14there with someone I loved
15
16 The doctor says what I have had has not been typhoid, it has been
17severe influenza with heart & kidney symptoms. Such a funny thing
18happened to me the other day, I got up from the bed feeling very
19dizzie & went to light the stove to make my self some tea, I
20couldn’t.
21
22 Good night, dear one. I do hope you are really getting stronger.
