Wallington, Cambo, Morpeth. - Sorry to hear that 'Nannie is "hors de combat"'; was afraid the large group would be too much. Elizabeth must get one of her extra nurses, or she will wear herself out. Hopes Mrs Abercrombie recovers soon; if the baby [Ralph] needs to be hand-fed, Elizabeth must certainly get help. G[eorge's] expedition [to Serbia?] is risky but 'very useful, & the best he could do'; since no-one is safe, it is best to be doing something. She and Sir George are very busy, so she does not feel 'quite useless'. Feels 'more angry than alarmed', which the Germans will find is the general response of the English to their 'methods'.
