My dear Pixie
I don’t know if you have heard how nearly Goosedom perished from exhaustion and how it has revived again, after throwing off a few idle members. I did not throw you out because I thought we had had some very impossible questions lately, and we are going to keep them shorter and easier.

Will you send the answers when you get them to Bluebell ie

the Honble Alethea Colborne
Beechwood
Plympton

There are two more new members coming in

Facta non Verba.
Rachel Deedes
Bengeo Rectory
Hertford

Phoebe Allen
Finchcox
Kilndown
Staplehurst

your faithful
Mother Goose
