her extremely. she has been unwell
for some time and I could not get
her to rest or follow medical advice
so I sent her to London where she is
under a good Doctor who hoped to
make her very much better soon –
mean time my hands are very full
I have asked Lily Master to come from
Malvern to act as bridesmaid and
spend Easter holidays here –

She has grown immensely as well
as handsome from what I hear –
she is so far way that I cant send
very often for her. You know more about
railway travelling & sending to London
an escort than colonial relatives can
generally and I really find I cant
do all that I would like to do –
Lilly will enjoy it I am sure – & the
two little Cousins & Ellen's cousin
Agnes Wickham complete the quartette
whilst my Boys in their usual sailor
dress attend upon the bridesmaid
