Description:
‘My Dear... About Meg I had made up my mind that she had better come home to have her puppies as it was impossible to leave her to Mrs Trowell, quite inexperienced as she is in such matters, & Mrs Hibbert understands the food & I could help while doing my natural home work, & you as I thought would be there to take the responsibility. However this [illeg.] came wrong, & we weren’t sure whether these were[?] puppies or no & it has drifted to the present situation & if everything goes right I shan’t think anything more of it as it is I feel I am not competent to meet a difficult crisis alone & that of course is disturbing to me. I won’t think quickly enough & I forget important things. However to put a more cheerful view Meg has taken her food with pleasure, had a large dry No.2. action this evening, took a trot around the triangle this morning & several turns in the garden, & seems normal tho’ of course lethargic. I believe she has even been allowing herself a [illeg.]. She seems fairly happy in the upper chamber all day as I have kept her there for safety, & Hans mainly tethered downstairs.
We have been very busy preparing 4 rooms for the swap[?] tomorrow. Rose is a very nice girl & we were fortunate to have her, & Mrs T. makes her comfortable.’
