Stocks Cottage, Tring. - Wants to know more about Bessie's pregnancy: what she is getting for the baby; when it is due to arrive and where; whether she has 'secured' her nurse and if she is having Mrs Scharlieb. If so, Janet will be the only member of the family 'left benighted with a male doctor"; unless Molly has 'her little George' in London and has Janet's doctor too. Asks if Bessie will be 'bold enough to stay at the Shiffolds' for the birth; it is 'much more fun' to be in London, and she hopes 'selfishly speaking' that Bessie will come, but suspects she and Bob want the baby 'to arrive really on his native heath'. Offers her pram, as she will need to get another one when her own 'Tommy' arrives; can also lend her many of the first baby clothes; feels she and Molly have had an 'unfair advantage in clearing out all the Wallington stock'. Asks what the baby is going to be called.
