Description
'Thank you for nice newsy letter. Do hope you are better now, so sorry to hear you have had such a bad time. Do you think an elastic stocking to come just above the ankle would help - you need not wear it outside. Had fixed to go to Shetland Isles on Sunday last for a fortnight, but rang up Sunday morn and cancelled the trip as it was so cold and wet and gale blowing - very glad I did as the cold is awful. This photograph shows where Parliament sat - the little trap door as side of fireplace was where Mary Queen of Scots used to listen to all the secrets when she was imprisoned there. This is only one end of the hall.
We are going to Stirling for the weekend and will write you later.
Love D'.
