15 August Harlsey Hall My dear Mother It has been boiling hot, when it is cool we have a very nice game we call it Fox and Hens. We have not been yet to Mount Grace. We have our lessons every day. Thank you very much for the lovely locket. I could not write to you before because I did not know the address. Maurice and I send our love and kisses to you and Papa From your loving child Gertrude
