  • Scope and Content
    Dear Mr Janes, Thank you for your letter which I received on the 19th January. I am very glad to know that you had a good voyage, you were very fortunate in missing the storms. According to reports in the papers and on the radio the seas were very rough. To us here in the midst of winter, a land of sunshine and palm trees seems like a fairy story, but we seem to have had better weather than some places in England. We have had very little snow in Luton but in the north of England and Scotland there have been quite heavy falls. During the past week it has been very cold and frosty but today it is foggy - more like November weather. There is nothing to worry you about but I am sending on one or two things for you as follows:- 1. Copy of letter which has come from the Luton & Dunstable Hospital re Mary. I have spoken to both Mr Robert and Mrs White about this and I have signed the form acknowledging receipt of the cards and returned it to the hospital. I thought you would like to see this letter. 2. I enclose a letter from Reverend E C Rust of Leeds, it is a reply to the letter which you wrote to him. He refers in his letter to an enclosure, I am not sending this on to you but it is a booklet entitled "Preaching in a Scientific Age" and is a lecture which Mr Rust gave on October 13th last. I also enlcose copy of the reply which I have sent to Mr Rust. 3. I enclose a letter which is addressed to Mrs Janes. Mrs Hadfield has asked me to thank you and Mrs Janes for the card which she has received and to tell you that the Cat has settled down very well indeed. I do hope that you are now received the Times [sic]. In your letter you said that you had not been able to book a sea passage to Jamaica. By the time this letter arrives, I hope you will be in Jamaica to receive it, no doubt you will be able to get there by some means or other. I think this is all for now, with best wishes and kindest regards to Mrs Janes and yourself. Yours sincerely, Joan Smith.
