Scope and content

Pinewood, Godalming. -Very interested to hear Robert's news [of his engagement], and pleased he has 'such a happy prospect' before him; she and his uncle join in 'the most cordial & affectionate messages' to him and to their 'future niece', whom she greatly looks forward to meeting. It will be 'indeed be a delight to hear her play'; wants Robert to bring her to see them if she visits his father and mother before the marriage; they will be in London after Christmas, but are spending December with Meta in Hertfordshire. Is writing to tell Meta, who will 'sympathise' with Elizabeth about music, especially the violin; 'little Margaret' [Meta's daughter] is learning to play it 'most promisingly'. Good of Robert to let her know himself; thinks Miss van der Hoeven is 'a very fortunate girl in securing your affections'.
