1 item

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Robert has just left; they have much enjoyed his visit and he was 'most helpful & cheerful with the guests'. Sir George is taking a few days holiday [from his book] so was delighted to have Robert to talk to. The weather was fine, and the [neighbours at the Welcombe parties] 'enjoyed themselves... thoroughly'. Has just had the piano moved into the drawing room, where it looks very nice; Mary is coming to stay for a fortnight in July so will 'have the benefit of it'; has heard how Elizabeth enjoyed playing with Lady Bell. The move to Wallington is on Monday; Booa [Mary Prestwich] is going to stay with some relatives for a week tomorrow, so there is much to arrange this morning. Elizabeth must be very busy, but it will be a 'pleasant excitement' to arrange their belongings in the new house.
