Saturday Red Barns, Coatham, Redcar. Dearest Mother. The enclosed will amuse you. As Maurice says, it's a great thing to feel that there is a really strong man to put it all through!
I'm going to R'ton [Rounton] over Sunday. When I found I was to be quite alone here I wrote and proposed myself, having finished a great batch of Arabic and Persian for Mr Ross.

Poor Mr Grosvenor, who was very seedy when he left, has developed pleurisy at Wortley and taken to his bed!

I'm delighted you and Moll are coming home on Thursday. Hugo has taken the 1000 miler away and there are not enough tickets in it to bring you both from Berwick, so will you get another. Ever your affectionate daughter Gertrude

It will suit very well to have the Lascelles' in Nov.
