Dear Mabel, I ought to have written you but thought it quite understood by Auntie's letter. I could not come so made other arrangements. I am sorry Auntie is not so well. I wish the warm weather would come it would do much good. We should all be most delighted to have you near us. I will expect you will say the children have grown a lot. Albert and Stanley go to school. With much love to you all round. Gertie in haste.
