My Dearest Wife,
I received your letter of 9th inst. yesterday, on our return from Deal, and was glad to have a good account of you all.
I hope Jack’s cold is better. Tell Ethel she must try and tell me the letters when I get home or I shall think she has been very idle. I have just come up from Goss Hall, Uncle Tom gave me 10/- for the roses and a like amount for the children.
I shall go and have dinner at Guston to-morrow. I hardly know yet if I shall come down on Monday or Tuesday, shall be glad to see you all again.
I call Mother to be very fairly well just now. Aunt George was pleased with the photo, she has sent some things here for the bazaar, I will bring them on. I must go out and post this so must not write more. With much love and kisses to the chicks.
I am ever
your loving Husband
Julius Sladden
Mother & Charlotte send love
