Lady Moyra writes thanking SCC for his recent letter and is very glad to hear that he is feeling "so well again". She further writes that he is not missing much in England, the weather has been cold and they have been skating at Ashdown and playing "wild games of hockey and flags". She also writes of political matters and rumours of the Unionist Free Traders putting forward a "candidate or two against whole hoggers". She further writes of Lord Henry Bentinck and his treatment in Nottingham and of Lord Hugh Cecil who is currently with them. She also writes that Lady Gwendolyn is "laid up in another part of the house" having "run over herself with her own motor" and breaking two ribs. She finally writes that they have been "very gay" in the remainder of the house and had a "cotillion & cake walk...with partners ranging from 13 to 70". Sent from: Hatfield House, Hatfield, Hertfordshire.
