My dearest wee Mother

I got your kind letter this morning. You needn't be anxious about me. I am perfectly well. I am sorry about the Mhor being seedy. Susie is up & about now & much better, & wee Alice is getting all right. She looked such a little angel when I went up to see her this morning. John is very robust & well & talks incessantly, though very badly. Speaking is evidently not going to be in his line. I should have

told you about the eggs. They got safely to London & have been much appreciated. We got some pheasants from Lady Sutherland. The Wolfe-Murrays called on Sunday. They are coming to lunch on the 18th.

This morning was thick fog, but it is bright & sunny now. I saw Strachey this morning. He was ill last week, vomiting blood, but it seems it was nothing.

Much love to all

Your affectionate son

John
