Stuk 119 - Letter from Clara Arnold to Caroline Trevelyan

1 doc

Wixenford, Eversley, Winchfield:- Is happy to tell her that 'Bobbie has arrived quite safely and looking very well'; is glad she was 'pleased with him', and that he had 'such happy holidays'. They have been 'much distressed' to hear that 'little Tom Booth was not the only sufferer from Ring worm' and that four other boys have had it, two badly and two less severely. None of these boys are here, and all those who returned to school without having seen a doctor have been 'most carefully examined on their arrival'; they have also had their 'own servants examined'. Hopes they are 'now quite safe', but the doctor is to re-examine the whole school in about a week. Bobbie 'brought fine weather with him & the boys have been enjoying a good game of football'. Hopes they will 'only have good news to send' all through the term
