Scope and content
'Aunt Meggie' thanks Bobbie for his 'very amusing and nicely written letter'; would like to have seen the pantomime, and the 'dirty boy being made clean'. Once had a doll's plate with a picture of a machine turning old men into children: thinks the machine and the one Bobbie saw 'must have been nearly related'. Discusses the illustration on the notepaper of the boys playing football, who 'are giving each other tremendous whacks [underlined]'. Hopes his mother is well, and sends her love.
