My dear Lucy,

You will be surprised at getting a letter from me almost every day. Mrs Lascelles is unwilling to send to Glynn at present for ant house linen on account of Mr Bristow’s illness. She, therefore, will be glad you could bring up with you a small pair of sheets for your own bed which is of a minute description. Hoping to see you on Wednesday or Thursday,

I am my dear Lucy

Affect yours,

F. E. Lascelles
