Aug 14th<\/sup> 1924<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dear T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your letter at last, do you know it was a whole fortnight that I didn\u2019t get a letter. Your clothes also I received O.K. I was wondering why and wherefore of things. The watch is going on splendidly a great prize that. Poor soul he no idea it was a watch. Lionel went in the choir last evening to practice a heavy bass. Mrs Aitkin in had him down on Tuesday putting him through his (Do???)Going to sit beside Bertie and Mr Aitkin he is telling. Didn\u2019t Cora tell you I went to Lamorna on Aug bank holiday. All the invalid, the lame and the lazy. Had Charles to take us up and fetch us back in the evening. Had a nice time better than home. Aunt Martha Elizabeth Helen and the children myself of course took our dinners all right too. The weather isn\u2019t very grand today again we\u2019ve had a nice day or two in and out we want a fine week or two now to bring in the harvest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So you had a nice time at Jack Hoare\u2019s very nice of them wasn\u2019t it. I thought Jack was coming to Cornwall for holidays. I saw Leonard and Clifford and friend last Sat on the way up from Mousehole then arrived had their bicycles with them they are looking very well and having a good time I expect they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salome and Marion are gone to Plymouth for a week\u2019s holiday coming out aren\u2019t they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lionel wish he could go somewhere for a holiday. I told him if he was getting money now he should but he must wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some business doing at Boslandew. Mrs Waters does flustrate something it wouldn\u2019t do for her to have a houseful she expect everything to go on as per usual but that isn\u2019t so, its visitors time. No one must dictate to her you know. When she has had a year or two of it, she will know more about it. What you say? She is right of course but too fussy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well now I think I have told you about all. Will send your clothes tomorrow if all is well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Uncle Charlie is very slight again poor fellow looking very thin indeed. Elizabeth is getting on a bit now able to go in and out a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Granny is very well up here last week wonderful isn\u2019t she? I haven\u2019t been down there lately but they are pretty well holidays on now you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I bought a new suit for Lionel not a very expensive one because he will have to wear it all the winter then next summer it will come down for seconds he is pleased with it so that\u2019s a great thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well now I must say goodbye for the time<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yours lovingly<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mother<\/p>\n\n\n\n I like Cora’s present very much she is delighted with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am feeling a good bit better<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lionel wore a stiff collar on Sunday so he is getting a swank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Granny was Eliza Spargo \u2013 mother of Obed senior\u2013 only she was now Eliza Richards having married Joseph Richards in 1906.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Lamorna connection was her sister Mary and brother in law Charles Strick.- They were living at Nantewas Lamorna<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elizabeth could be sister Elizabeth Drew, <\/p>\n\n\n\n Salome and Marion were daughters of sister Martha, and Joseph Rowe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Flustrate – a mixture of frustrate and fluster<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mr. O.T.
