Scope and content

The Shiffolds.- His parents will already have received his telegram saying that the baby was born at 3.50 on Sunday afternoon; Bessie is 'very well, and had an easy time, and the baby seems strong and healthy'. He is 9 pounds and a quarter, 'a good weight', and a 'good colour'. Dr Cornish seemed 'very satisfied with both him and Bessie', and will come again tomorrow afternoon.

Molly came down from London this morning with Charles and Janet, and Bessie lunched with them; Charles and Janet left immediately afterwards, just as Enticknap was going for the doctor. There was a 'dreadful storm of wind and rain all the time', but nobody seemed the worse for it, and the doctor arrived in time.

They had their parents' letter [10/81?] this morning and are glad Robert's father is recovering, 'though slowly'. Expects Molly will have written them a better account of everything than he will be able to give; she has been a 'great help' and they are 'both very glad she could be here'. Everything so far has gone as well as it could, and the 'baby seems to have had a fine start in life'. Will be a 'great pleasure' to them when his parents are both able to see the baby.

Has 'so many letters to write' that he will say no more now, but will write again soon.
