Red Barns, Coatham, Redcar. Nov. 27 Dearest Mother. Of course I willl tell the M.M. on Wednesday. I will find out from Mrs B. and Lofts about sending out the invitations. Will you tell me what you want read - any of the Health book? and if so where it is. I can look out some story for them. I don't see why I shouldn't read Miss Todd in your absence! We shall be most excited at all the tales which I suppose Papa will tell us tomorow. I'm so sorry his letters were forwarded to London on Saturday. It was a beefsteak. Wd you mind asking Auntie B. if they will have me for a few days, probably on the 7th, but we can settle that when you return. It would be rather fun if you were there too! I gather you mean to go up again before Xmas.
Do you advise us to go to the Pease wedding? I feel rather discouraged since you are not here.

My High School function is next Friday at 3. Ever your affectionate daughter Gertrude

We long to hear about Dolmanyi[?] or however he spells his name.
