My Dearest Boy
I long for some more of your journalizing Letters they amuse me so much. I conclude you have heard from Mr Feilding 1 since he went into Yorkshire Caroline & Horatia 2 come back from Barming today, I expect to see them avec des joues de rose & le teint basané 3 talking of nothing but young Pip & Turkies Bees & Rabbits, Hops & Hives, and holding in due contempt the well bred Swans of the Serpentine River – what more adventures have you had on land or Water, or rather on foot & Poney? You have never told me anything about the new Gardens on the top of the rocks & the windy walks up the hill, Does the well hold Water & do the flowers flourish. We are going to cut down the ancient Mulberry Tree, so there’s an end of Forest scenery in Sackville Street!!! 4
