Rounton Grange Aug 19 Dearest Mother. Mr du Cane accepts and Mr Cockerell refuses, so do ask your man - he might come on the 2nd, Thursday till Monday, or on the 3rd. I'm going to open a bazaar at Hatton Rudby today. It's fine again and I hope you are having the same sun.
I've given Mary a coral necklace. She screams with rage whenever it is taken away to be put on. I don't expect it will bring peace. Your affectionate daughter Gertrude
