Description (What the record is about)
-
"We arrived home quite safely on Friday evening. Every thing is looking so pretty at home. I went to see my garden this morning. I am rather disapointed my seeds have not come up as much as I had hoped they would. I went in to the peach house, the peaches are getting very well, they was one white Heart cherry ripe after seeing that I hastily left the house!! I also looked at Mother's little fig tree which is getting on splendidly, there such a lot of figs on it. The lilacs are out and look lovely. Wickens began bedding out this morning, he says that until now the weather has been too rough. When I was driving in this morning Henry told me a very sad tale about the ducks, he says that one night a dog came and killed eight and the biggest chick and another night a rat came and killed 2 ducks. Please excuse this writing but I've got such a horrid scratchy new [nib]. Mrs. & Miss Tottenham are staying here, this afternoon we went for a drive in the Osborn grounds. Admiral Hornby got an order. I found my dogs and parrots very flourishing, the latter are making a dreadful row. Please write to me soon, dear Daddy. I remain, with heaps and heaps of love, your loving daughter, 'Elizabeth Jonas!! Lady Hornby sends her love."
