  • Scope and Content
    Written at Harrold. ...I have been wondering this morning how you are getting on and if you would go to Harrington last night. I thought you seemed to think it would be better to do so until you heard from Nobles to say for certain. What a miserable day it turned out for your visit; it must have been wretched for you returning home if the wind was the same with you as here. I written [sic] to Lester our superintendent Registrar yesterday afternoon and told him that I had made matters all straight at Kettering so that I should not require a license from him. I don’t think he could understand my meaning as this morning’s post brought me the certificate that I filled up there on Saturday, for my signature, with a half crown stamp upon it stating that so soon as I returned it the License should be forwarded. Now who on earth can solve such doings as this? I quite expect I shall be obliged to go to Bedford again to make them understand that I have settled it but I will write again this afternoon and send the 2/6 and see if this will satisfy them. What do you think of the enclosed received from [illeg.] Brown this morning? Isn’t it nice? I expect he will go to Switzerland from what he said when he was here. He has beat me, you see, after all in getting the happy event over first. I think I must write and congratulate him. We heard from Papa this morning; he is much better and enjoying himself very much. He has not had an attack since he left home. Mr. Deane has been down this morning to enquire how I got on; he seemed very pleased to think we had settled it. He said he was quite afraid we should have had to put it off for a few days. I hope you will write as soon as possible and tell me if you have heard from Kettering and the result of our visit there. I shall be very anxious to know your whereabouts and all particulars. Goodbye; accept very very much best love &c &c&c&c&c [?] From your own loving and affectionate Hugh Sanders
