dote on him. Now if you were my wife I

should not write to you + if you knew where

I was I should tell you to keep clear I

was off with another man's wife - more

sport.


Then he informed when we were alone

that I had kept you straight with always

being with you. I denied it - you were

straight before and I didn't half tell him

off for saying that. As if you didn't

have enough moral courage of your own.

I informed him that your character was

strong whilst his was weak. Poor Frank

he is a real grand boy but he wants

to steady up because I'm sure he was not

telling me fairy tales.


Julia had a letter this morning from

Mary Castles asking if they would

make the quarrel up. Your mother has

given Julia instructions to write and say

that there was no quarrel but as Mary

and Billie were kept out of the garden and

she has found out how nice and quiet it

is without them. It had best remain under

the present conditions. Your mother presumes

that now winter is coming on Mrs Castles
