Scope and content

174 Adelaide Road, N.W. - Was surprised at the news of Robert's engagement, as she had always somehow thought it 'Charles's duty to take the first step in that direction'. Glad that Caroline approves of his choice, and to think of him being settled 'with a good wife to stir him up to make the best of himself and perhaps do some good work'. Caroline must be keen to see Miss van der Hoeven and judge what influence she is likely to have on him; thinks mothers must sometimes 'feel it rather hard to give up their boys to someone else'. Will write to Bob tomorrow, sending the letter to Wallington to be forwarded on. Has spent a recent fortnight in Lincolnshire; some friends she had not seen for a long time were invited to meet her as a surprise for her. Is well except for some neuralgia.
