1 item

Robin Ghyll, Langdale, Ambleside. - Has not yet been able to send George's 'travel budget', as he has wanted it as reference for his articles for the "Contemporary" and "Nation' about his 'adventures'; will send 'the whole bundle of letters' as soon as she can. Explains about her 'silly little accident', caused by jumping over a flower-bed at Stocks; had to lean on 'Humphry's pushcart' to get back to the cottage, and Dr Harrison had to bring one of the 'best surgeons from St Thomas's' to see her as after bed-rest she had 'one hip inches higher than the other'. The surgeon said she could come up to Robin Ghyll as long as she arranged to have massage, which is now speeding her recovery. Mary and Humphry are very well, and have had 'their beloved "Cousin Will" [Arnold-Forster] to play will'; he however is leaving tomorrow, and returns to Italy in about ten days. Great fun to show Bob around at Whitsuntide; wonders if he will ever 'beguile' Bessie here too.
