My dear friend,
Molly returns next Monday or Tuesday fortnight. She has to bring the boys back to school. I should be very glad if she could come to you for I am sure you and Kate would do her much good but I am afraid it is impossible. She will have been away between six and seven weeks by the time she gets back.
Ernest has just told me he is engaged to be married to a Miss O’Hara (1), and Irish young woman, living in Rugby. We know nothing about her.
I can assure you that as to writing, except letters, I do none, and as to reading, it is shut up into a small compass especially when Molly is away. In consequence of our peculiar circumstances half my day is
taken up with small house matters and just now business correspondence is unusually heavy.
I dare say you will hear from Molly. I told her this morning that you have invited her.
Ever affectionately
W. Hale White
(1) Possibly Irene Maud O’Hara, aged 20 in 1901 Rugby Census
