When you have looked at this will you please post on to my mother – at the enclosed address. The Tortoise is playing up – shocking - & I have just seen a plumber & repairs start tomorrow.
Fumes are rank poisonous. Even the cat coughs. A pupil may arrive tomorrow for a few lessons. Hope to write to you either tonight or tomorrow & recount my adventures.
I have not opened the frames – too busy – but shall tomorrow. Hope you had a real good rest on Wed: afternoon after your labours. How grand you both were. My love to you Yrs ever Frances Hodgkins
