Dear Brother & Sister,
We have just received your very welcome letter from Holywell
today and I thought to write you a few lines at once to keep you from
suspicions. Can assure you we have had
a very trying time of it for in the midst our moving, the children took the
measles, the first sickness they have had but I am happy to say they have got
very nearly through them, but still it makes a difference of a month in our
arrangements, but I shall be able to give all to explain all when I see you, which
will not be long now.
I am glad that all your family is well again, and now the
weather is getting warmer you will be glad to have the change. We got the
pictures of your house and also the horses and were much pleased with them,
also the popover. It caused us a great
deal of amusement.
You need not be afraid of writing to us for we shall have
all of our letters sent to us wherever we are.
Marian was pleased to hear of her little dog and says she will play with
it all day. She does not much like cats,
but the boy Richard is a good tease to them, for where we are staying the cat
has four kittens and he will not let them have any peace. The
cat carries them all over the house from him.
I think we shall be able to go to Holywell in about three
weeks from now, but I must not tell them that we are coming now. The time is getting short. I feel as though I had done nothing and I am
afraid there will be a great any things forgotten but we must make the best of it.
With best love to all of you. Must excuse these few lines as
I have scarcely time to write, my mind so upset. So do forgive me, from your affectionate
sister,
M A Garner
