My dear Ellie-
Thank you for your letter. We have heard nothing more, and hardly look for anything, and indeed there had been only one letter from him since he joined Baden-Powell, but that was enough to leave us no doubt that it is himself. 1 I am so glad he had that year at home after the Matabele War.
He was very much loved here. There was to have been a ‘Social Evening,’ but the people begged to put it off for they could not enjoy it.-
Your affectionate
C. M. YONGE.
