Sep 15 Red Barns, Coatham, Redcar. Dearest Mother. Here is the list. The Figaros were, I thought, sent to you every evening. There are two, however, today. I can't tell you how long the N.Gs [Norman Grosvenors[?]] are going to stay - into next week, anyway. They appear to be enjoying themselves. Maurice is playing golf with Horace and Mr G. today - Caroline and I are going out bicycling. It is delightful having them and thanks to that old sun's spots the weather is still hot and delicious.
Some grapes came from the Ramsays - I have written to them. I do hope you are having this weather. I long to hear Mr Chirol's plans. Ever your affectionate daughter Gertrude

[Note on back of envelope] Papa's journeys seem to have been amusing. I'm glad he got his trains.
