Letter from Mary Robinson (Lady Grantham) to Jemima Yorke. Sent from Newby: Going to Bishopsthorpe tomorrow, and will meet Grantham's 3 cousins, Weyard sisters. Though it means leaving the children, is not afraid of Tommy's getting "Mummish" [Mum=Mrs Lamb, nurse], he is not too much and too constantly with us to be considerably affected by the constant and invariable dullness of Mrs Lamb's manners. We propose getting him a spelling book at York." Fred should soon begin. Chit-chat. [Typed transcript available]
