Thursday
My dear Granny
I am sorry to have the worst news to tell you of poor Aunt Francis†. She died this morning. Lucy would have gone off to you directly, but I would not let her, because she is really not fit to get up at all yet, though she will come down stairs a little in the afternoon. I write this for her as she is waiting to go to sleep. Don’t be unhappy about her, she will be all right if she keeps quiet, but she may do herself a lasting injury if she gets about too soon. And don’t fret about anything, dear old Dovey, we will both come and see you as soon as we can.
Your loving grandson
Willi
Agnes and our baby are going to see you tomorrow.
