South of England audiences. They are desperately unintelligent. Poor Aunt Sis
[ST - Honble Victoria Grosvenor] is very ill & is scarcely expected to live through the day. I don't
know what her poor old sister will do when she dies. Mrs
Grosvenor is still seedy, but we are all quite well. I hope Nan
will get decent weather & that her visit will do her good in body &
mind. Please remind Walter again about my cheque books. [Sentence underlined]

The old letters of Lord Ardwall are very interesting & rather touching. His family
are just like ours, a mixture of religion & law.

I do hop you will keep well when Nan is away.

Much love, my wee body

Yours affectionate son

John
