Scope and content

Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Julian's journey seems to have gone well: he was cheerful when he arrived and looks 'very bonny'; he has gone to Cambo this morning. Welcombe has been 'declined as a [war] hospital'; they are relieved as it would have been 'most disagreeable', but it was the right thing to do. Is thinking of fitting out an empty house in Snitterfield for Belgians; if the plan succeeds, asks if Elizabeth could visit to make sure all is well and 'put the people in'. She herself is much better and would go, but does not like to leave Sir George who is 'terribly moved and anxious about the war'. Thinks the furnishings could come from Welcombe, and it would 'do for middle class people - not peasants'. Julian says he is glad to be at Wallington and that the 'house was not knocked down'. Will send a letter to Bob to say Julian has arrived; hopes the baby [Ralph Abercrombie?] 'flourishes'. Asks if Elizabeth if she has read the Marquise de la Tour du Pin's memoires, which are 'very interesting and amusing'. Miss Evans [Julian's nanny] is 'very lively' and pleased to be at Wallington again.
