Scope and Content
A card - Street Farm, Ashtead, Epsom
My dear friend,
Will you excuse a card for we have no paper. It is worth a moment’s special scribble to tell you that Jack is engaged to Agnes Hughes, daughter of Mr Hughes the painter whom we have know so long. She is a most lovely creature and, by us, very much beloved; rather shy and reserved but tenderhearted. They will not be married yet for Jack’s income alas is narrow.
I wish, oh how I wish your husband were here. There is this big garden which in a few days will require attention and I know no more than an owl what to do with it. How much would his retaining fee be?
With best love from us all
Ever yours
W Hale White
