Scope and content
14 Napier Road, Edinburgh. The 'beautiful rug' from Bessie arrived soon after her letter of the 9th (Grettie organises their correspondence in a 'very businesslike way') and both Toveys are delighted with it; it will look even better in their new home which they will move into in April. His father-in-law [Hugh Cameron] is much better, and the 'new arrangements [the Turnbulls, see 6/165]... are a great success'. The [Reid] Orchestra is developing 'quite a decent style'; was introduced yesterday to 'the Organiser of the Amalgamated Trades Unions' and invited to become an honorary member, so can count on support. Sends love to 'the Poet and the Author of Blood Curdling Fairy Tales' [Bob and Julian].
