Friday. Dearest Mother. We are getting on quite well. Mrs W. Pennyman came in yesterday afternoon much to Aunt Bessie's delight. Walter came down to tea and I walked out with him after to see him play golf, as I had been with Aunt B. all the afternoon, I thought it did not matter leaving her for a bit. Today I lunched in camp - Whartons, Dormans, Peases intil't. They had an inspection afterwards at which I took photographs, and came back here for tea. Aunt Bessie had been driving in a sand carriage; as she is terrified out of her wits even in a sand carriage, I don't think she can enjoy it much, but she absolutely refuses to let me come too and I think she fears I may do something foolhardy!
Eddie has had a letter from Lord C. [Cromer] saying that he is now going to Scotland, but will see him as he passes through London in September. That sounds all right, I think.

Maurice will be here from the 19th to the 23rd so that Father won't be alone anyhow. Ever your affectionate daughter Gertrude

What a dear Countess Harrach is! I hope you will see her.
