Bath 15^th April

My dear Papa,

How charming it is to have such lovely weather at last! I am glad to say that Mama has been able to go out today in a Bath chair round the Park, but she had looked and complained of being so very unwell last week that we were not at all happy about her. She seemed so utterly weak and prostrate, – However the doctor’s prescriptions of tonics and stimulants, now that she is really following them, seem to be doing good, so I hope she will be all right again presently. But he is very anxious for her to try a little sea air on leaving this, so we are thinking of Weston-Super-Mare for a fortnight, as it is so conveniently near and salubrious.

Charles writes in good spirits from Weymouth. He has met the Noel Mundys there, and we expect them here tomorrow on their way back to Markeaton. We must give them some dinner I suppose. I wonder whether you will be here also.

Jack returns to school on Thursday. Everybody at Speddoch seems flourishing. Are you not glad the police have caught that horrible woman Dix Blanc. ¹ Charles says he means to return to Lacock tomorrow, but if you come here I suppose you will miss on the road.

Please to give the enclosed (about cats and carpets!) to Hill.

Your affectionate daughter
Rosamond.
