MS Mrs Clare Roels/92
My dear C C
The world seems wild with joy and flags from every window house! Maurice says traffic was stopped in London by people waving flags and shaking hands.1 I suppose there will be a culminating in a great illumination when it is over. Well, I shall be very glad of you on the 15th I shall like to have the benefit of the lectures, but I am afraid my young missionary is so far very dull.
Has Fanny Awdry written to you about their trouble Mr Vere Awdry’s little Bridget has died after two days illness, a very clever child of seven, and they have only the boy left2 He is such a depressed person that one is very sorry for the shock to him, and probably the good little homely wife is more grieved for him than herself
Do you know who does the Church history answers- Rosie’s two last have never been returned, she had 100 for one and 97 for the others of the two first and she is rather uneasy about these two last- She has 75 for the first on Henry V- Cecily is to go to Dorking with her Granny and she is in a desperate hurry to start They do not go till the 13th so I shall have only one solitary day-
Old Comrades’s lists of books amuse me, they are so entirely what they happen to have-
Pauline is a beautiful story. You will come in for some sermons on the spiritual application of worldly maxims on Friday evenings by Mr Lowth of Colden Common. We have had ‘All is not gold that glitters’ rather nice, but not loud enough
your affte
