Letter from Emma Chapman to Bessie Godber, Tuesday. Thanks for good advice ‘I don’t worry dear, I feel so very thankful to think my dear ones have found such very satisfactory partners in life as I think this one will be too…’ Elsie doesn’t want rector to marry her and can’t very well ask the curate so thinking of marrying in London by license. None of his relations can come. Elsie has been to see Mrs Cope ‘she is coming over sometime’. Possibility of having a help has just written to ‘Mary Gregory or Mrs John Stevens’ about her daughter Elsie. Tom and Edith get on well together and have been out several times lately. Tom ‘don’t trouble to look for a wife much, its time he did though, its rather a risky business.’ Mrs Ted Gregory’s help is leaving…’Housekeepers desirable ones, seem to want finding. I guess your baby weighs more than Harold a lot now – he is tiny, but can nearly walk now, and Daisy looks better.’
