Letter (two sheets) from Maud Orlebar, Dingle Bank to Frederica sorry no better, especially with the boys at home, nothing definitely the matter. glad going abroad, suggests reading some books on Normandy before they go eg. Murray (‘s Guide)

14 April [1877].

From: 1877 To: 1877

Sympathy for Frederica’s lack of health and congenial occupation and companionship. ‘I think that perhaps Hinwick does not agree with you and to be alone nearly all day in that large and empty house must be rather depressing and yet as it is your home I know you must see and feel that it is your duty to live there if possible’. Knows ‘no natural taste for working amongst the poor’. Suggests work in village regularly and in moderation! thank Richard for project of Maud’s to have a Chapel at Hinwick.
