5 Thanks for your letter. We leave for Hanover next week. Parliament
6closes the day after tomorrow. Your brother Jim made a first rate
7little speech the other night, shutting up Juta so that he didn’t
8stir again!!! I wish he would speak more. I will ask Miss Viljoen
9about the house as soon as I get back.

11 Cron has been doing very good work this session; working tremendously
12hard on committees & has made one or two short little speeches much to
13the point. Its He’s always best when he’s not thought of what he's
14going to say & rises on the spur of the moment.

16 Good bye. I am so glad you are having such a good time. I’m going to
