Scope and Content

From Malvern to India. Thanks him for greetings and card which arrived on Christmas Day. Children enjoyed hunting for hidden presents. He had been worried when he left about Lilian, but does not think he would be now. Thinks work for Cambridge examination has been good for her, in taking her mind off herself. Only work about Noel that 'The keen spirit should outpass the strength of the sheath'. Mabel 'always takes things easily', but has character and feeling underneath her charming demeanor. Mother getting steadily weaker.
