Letter from William Inge to his son Ralph [W.R. Inge] and his daughter Sophy, written from Crayke.
He supposes he is very lazy leaving mama to write all the letters and they will say he is now as he is writing only one letter to the both of them,
The must know that nine years ago Aunt Veysie was as kid to Mama and Papa as she is to them now. They started from her house to come and live at Crayke in the cottage together. Mama will remember it and being in Daventry Church first.
Carol and Carl will have to eat plum pudding for us tomorrow since you are away.
Ralph and Sophy must see what treats they could get with 12 stamps each, books or photographs or spades or what they like. Miss Maude or Maria might help them choose.
The Boggarts had made much work. They had knocked down the walls of the drawing Room and Dining Room and Mama's room and the Dressing Room. They will find it hard to find their way around when they return.
Uncle Henry had returned from Switzerland. He had been up a mountain more than 10,000 ft high.
Sends his love to Aunt Veysie and Miss Maude.
