  My Dear Stanley,

  I ought to put at the top of this

  letter Sep: 5th + Tuesday. I always write in the evening

  but unfortunately I was off colour. I think we

  have all got cold with being in the breakfast room

  poor baby has had an awful time and Kitty +

  he have not been out. I simply ached from

  head to foot so went to bed at nine o'clock with

  a hot water bottle for my companion. Then I

  was as sick as could be. It was about

  midnight before I fell asleep. May breakfast

  has had to be of toast and water. Mr Green

  was pretending to tell me off for not attacking

  the sausages. Yesterday (Tuesday) morning was

  bitterly cold; we had a fire and it looked

  grand and cheerful. Janet, Julia, Kitty, Baby

  and myself sat around the fire reading and

  talking. The weather improved so at 12:30 pm

  Jan, Ju, + myself walked into the valley to see
