Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Thinks Elizabeth will have had a good passage [to the Netherlands]; hopes she is quite rested by now. Glad she left her friends so comfortable, and hopes Mr B[ottomley] will recover in the south. The [Richard Durning?] Holts came yesterday before lunch then at 9.30 in the evening drove to Newcastle with Charlie. Julian came down after tea and behaved very well. It is Geordie's birthday tomorrow and there will be 'great festivities'. Charlie looked well and will return on Thursday if possible for the Northumberland County Council. Miss McCrachan [?] is coming to tea today, but in general she now expects to be very quiet. Asks Elizabeth to let her know when she will be back; wants to organise things such as Christmas trees. George 'says "every one ought to have one war they can enjoy in their lives" & that he is having it'. It [the First Balkan War] is 'certainly most dramatic'. Asks to be remembered to Elizabeth's sister [Mien Röntgen] and hopes everyone is well.
