To Mrs Colenutt
Park Hill, Carshalton, Surrey
My dear Mrs Colenutt,
To think of Willie was very kind of you. I have been endeavouring to find out what he wants and I learn he has no desert knives and forks. If you can manage an electroplated set, it will be most helpful. His
address is 65 Harley St. W. Write to him yourself. Silver spoons are provided.
I am glad to hear your husband is better. Give my best love to him. By the way, we buy a great deal off electroplate at the office and we have found that, save Elkingtons, not a single manufacturer is to be trusted. Elkingtons electroplate is worth, so far as wear is concerned, 75 per cent more than that of other “good” firms.
We are all pretty well, save Mrs White, who is weakened by a bad cold; and your correspondent, who has been troubled with his old sorrow of late and happens in addition to be much worried with work
and other matters.
Affectionately yours
W. Hale White
