MS location unknown. Photocopies lent by Barbara Dennis: Maggie/71

My dear Maggie

What a great day to have your birthday upon. You cannot look to many returns of Holy Thursday upon it, so this will be all the more to remember, but I wish you many, many more happy returns. Thank you and Mamma for your curl. I shall have quite enough now I send you one of the brooches made to a pattern of Mary Queen of Scots which I saw at Edinburgh last year and thought you would like as it makes your M and is historical.

your affectionate godmother
