Scope and content
"Etona", 2. St. Margaret's Road, Edinburgh. - Very kind of Bessie to remember her birthday: is delighted with the Japanese picture of the rabbit. Is very sorry to hear what Julian has had to go through; wonders 'what causes all this modern necessity for operations'. 'Baby' [John Wellcome, the Tovey's adopted child] is flourishing; Don is 'missing so many things about him'. Wishes she could see Julian in his wigwam, and wonders if he plays at the Pearl Tree. Has three 'very nice boys' staying in the house; their mother is a 'Mons widow' and is acting as housewife caretaker. The boys have greatly improved the garden, and take charge of the rabbits, of which they now have fourteen.
