Dear darling Papa
I am very sorry you did not have a pleasant voyage.
It is not very hot here becase it has rained so much.
Margaret Sloane came to supper day before yesterday and we had a lovely time with her, Jessie was not very well and so she could not play with us, and she is not very well today either.
I went to Beth’s yesterday and she invited me to supper.The Arch sfor the roses to climb on is has been put up and I think it will look lovely when the roses have grown. We got a letter from Fräulein and she said that she got there safely and it was a lovely place. We just letters from Fräuleins Nieces, Clara, and, Elsa, we wrote to them long time ago. The letters are very interesting.
I am reading “Ivanhoe” now and I think it is perfectly lovely. I have atlready redad The “Talisman” and it is lovely to.
Jessie has read fourteen of them and Margaret has read twelve I think.
Puffens had five more kitties but she killed them too.
We got a croquet set but we can not play unless in the evening because it is so hot.We see Beth nearly all the time now because we have nobody to play with. now.
Beth and Mr. and Mrs. Hibbon come here every Sunday and have a little afternoon-tea.
Give my love to Uncle Stock.
Your loving daughter
Nellie
