My dear Mary

Gertrude has brightened up this week but she had an embarras de richesses on Wednesday for Jane Harper, two children, Bella Heathcote Mrs Buston and Emily Dampier all came. She could not see the last two but they are coming on Wednesday afternoon to see her.

We had 104 communicants today – 50 early and 54 late. Frances was neuralgic and could not come out so Maurice was alone. George has grown very tall. Poor Caroline Martin died the night before good Friday.

I never had such a scarcity of primroses at Easter!

Your affectionate
C.M. Yonge
