Re: Elderton’s new title.
‘Monday Morning. This [letter] was cut short by Egon’s arrival in time for dinner & to stay one night. A pleasant episode, tho’ we are enjoying our solitude a deux in this lovely weather. You ask about the dogs. They really are wonderfully good condsidering their late Kennel life. Quite clean in the hall at night, tho’ Chang I believe has done a little christening of the passages at first. They also are very quiet at night except when our opposite neighbour’s dog barks and they respond. Yesterday morning I gave them both a good combing, & mats of hair came off ‘Chang.’ I suppose he is moulting but ‘Miss Coombes’ doesn’t complain. He is a dear dog, & getting to know me, tho’ the ongoing habit of that particular family is very marked in him. Jet[?] seems to have none of it. She is a wilful puss, & the chief trouble because of her bark. Really I suppose a watch dog instinct as she makes a great noise if she is tied up on the verandah at the passers by in the road let alone callers & tradespeople. She has therefore the[?] housed in the dining room study, if we want peace.
I am so glad that Mi’s puppies seem to thrive. They will be an immense interest. I hope they will stand the move to the animal house. Soon they will begin to fall out of their box. Get on Mi’s back perhaps. And then comes the dirty, feeding stage. When she tires from responsibility & they really begin to be dears. They’ll be in that when you come back I suppose.
Please write me a holiday letter, forgetting & forgiving that I didn’t answer your last. I like so much to hear all the family news, & of course about Alan. I hope you will have a satisfactory sight[?] of time at Westward Ho!, where I suppose this will follow you. Helga goes to Edinboro’ today from Manchester museums, then to Forfarshire[?] for quarries. Sigrid for Switzerland July 31st. Very hot in hospitals[?] this weather I hear.
Ever affectionately yours,
M.S. Pearson.’
