you joy of your Gardening

wholesome of Lessons.
2. Was it the Medical
Officer of Health who
closed the School? And
what is his name?
I am very sorry
that your children have
had Scarlet Fever, tho' so
slightly, thank God

Now your house is an
infected house. And
you must take
advantage of it to have
it painted & papered
& disinfected, I suppose.
What has the Medical
Officer of Health said
about it?
Please look to this.
They can't disinfect it
without having it
painted & papered
anew

There is no fault in
the drainage, is there?
to produce this Scarlatina
or Scarlet Fever.
I have been writing
this note with so many
interruptions - that I
cannot tell you how
delighted I am with
the Scholarships four.
And I am going to
send you 10/6 by
