Today I am free and have time to write letters to my friends and relatives.
My brother's children, three nice boys, are at school now and it is quiet in the house. The news from home is that i am niw a "grand-aunt" as my niece has a baby now, a little daughter. Her name is Elizabeth, Liz for short. She is a little darling and they are all very charmed with her. We are glad to have a baby in the family. My niece's husband is not in London. He has a nice house not far from Edinburg and my sister's family is there with him. I have some little presents for my "grand- niece". How are your children? Where are your son now? Is he still abroad? He is married, isn't he? Have you any grandchildren? Please write to me as often as possible. I am always glad to hear from you.
