Spean Bridge Thursday. Dearest Mother. I had not time to write to you this afternoon as I was in Fort William with Papa till nearly post time. Everything seems to be settling down - we have found fournisseurs in Fort W. and there appear to be no difficulties to deal with. We have also found a room for Lisa at the signal man's, after hunting all the village over in rain! 5/ a week - I don't think that includes breakfast and I'll hire a bath for her at Fort W.
It must be terribly sad at Sloane St. I do hope it won't last very long. We shall be awfully glad when you rejoin your family.

If only we have nicer weather for your arrival! It is cold and rains a great deal. Still one doesn't seem to mind much. The house is very comfy.

Love to Aunt Bessie and Sophie. Ever your very affectionate daughter Gertrude

I hope you won't knock yourself up. It must be tiring for you though you say it isn't.
