CHARLES HUNTRISS - LETTERS HOME

Reporting a death

I should have written sooner but I have been so precious busy. I wsa confirmed last Saturday and went away for my merit holiday.

Have you heard that ???? died a week or two ago - he had some teeth out and it had splintered his jaw. Then he caught cold in it and got inflammation in it the inflammation flew to his brain and killed him. He was due to have been married in a month.

Did you go to Harrogate in the carriage? How far is it?

I don't know when you are going home so I shall direct this to home so you will be sure to get it.

It was the Derby Day yesterday at Epsom and we saw lots of things going. It is nearly supper time and I have nothing so say so I remain your affectionate son,

I am going to seal this letter for you.
