Scope and content

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - She and Booa [Mary Prestwich] have discussed Elizabeth's letter, and think the nurse would be 'very suitable for the winter months'; it would be helpful for her to have 'an experienced woman to begin with', who might sometimes save her calling on the doctor. Elizabeth should make sure the nurse is 'not too oldfashioned'; advises only making a temporary engagement since later Elizabeth would want a younger, more active woman. Has worked for Pauline to have a young nurse, but Caroline was uneasy about it at first. The babies here are 'pretty and amusing'. Charles and George are having a few days walking; expects they will return tomorrow. Charles, Mary and Pauline are going to Rounton on Wednesday and will have to stay away till the end of next week [due to illness in the area]; hard on them, since they were going to have friends to stay this month. Notes in a postscript that she has a 'white silk infants hood' which Elizabeth can have.
