Sent from Maria Sharpe Pearson
21 May 1914
Description:
‘My dearest Karl,
Many thanks for the Times! We were very interested to[?] [illeg.] the report on Petrie’s work.
You will be sorry to hear that Helga is laid up with a bilious attack. I suppose I was not careful enough with her yesterday, but she did nothing excessive, except perhaps eat too much cake at tea, & seemed so bright & happy to run about with Ling... Now she has gone to bed & I hope may rest it off. It is very hot here today. Julia has gone back to Manchester for tonight, but we are well looked after. Ling misses her. He was in high[?] glue yesterday when H. & At. [Ju?] took him a little walk on the hill above, but came in very black. It is curious how the smoke seems to rest on the top of the hills.
... Poor Mrs Weldon! Her life seems bound to be unhappy.
...
P.S. Yours just arrived many thanks you must not [illeg.] yourself by writing I am grieved to have to worry you, [illeg.], Helga poorly. How troublesome about Choo.’
