CHARLES HUNTRISS - LETTERS HOME

Cousin Ellen and old Gout-face

I didn't write last Sunday because I had nothing to say, but I think I have something to say today.

Is cousin Ellen at Hackness yet because if I don't go to their place this merit holiday which is next Saturday. I can't go the next because I am asked to go somwhere on that one; but I don't know ...

... and that puzzles me. I wish you would write and advice me as soon as possible.

I saw Lawes this afternoon and he told me to tell Ned to write to him.

I have taken to learning drawing again because we have got a new master called Steele a very nice kind of fellow that is he never joins us buts lets us do as we like about drawing and cutabout on the desks and ??? and talks rot with us; but I can learn much better with him than Gout-face, though Gout-face is still at the school.

I suppose you know about Bob Whitworth and school going to shut up at Christmas I ...

... think Bob is going to some other school for half a year or so but don't say anything about it only you should not. I don't know are you coming to London at all this term if so when.

We have had very wet weather here lately but today it has been vry fine.

With love to all I conclude, your affectionate son.
