Dear Barbara
I enclose a cheque for the Chromo: thanks for the trouble you took.
Do you remember borrowing a shilling from Grace, to pay for your cab, when you brought me the hamper of pretty things in the summer? She told me of it the other day and she is so accurate about money matters that I have no doubt she is right.
I forget such things myself, and therefore feel sure that you, like me, will be glad to be reminded. Will you, when you come again, just give Amelia the shilling when she opens the door for you, and say what it is for? 2
Yours always
M. E. L.
