Seatoller House, Borrowdale, Keswick. - Will be on his own here for the next week, as Charles and Molly left for Criccieth on Monday; they were very well, but the weather at the weekend was very cold. Today it is 'lovely', and getting warmer. Bessie has gone to the 'H Davieses at Three Bridges with Julian'; she seems to have had 'quite a gay and social time' since they parted, and has 'been playing with Mrs [Nora?] Streeton, a violinist, several times'. Lily Brookes is coming in a few days, so Bessie will then be 'much freer'.

Had a pleasant visit to Aunt Annie on the way here; she was 'very cheerful', and invited 'a lot of people to tea' the day Robert was there. Is going on to the Bottomleys at Silverdale on Tuesday, probably for a week, before returning home. Gordon Bottomley seems 'quite well, and none the worse for his adventures in London and at the Shiffolds'; they were 'quite anxious about him' for a few days, but he 'recovered very quickly'.

Will write to his father soon.
