much valued. We were at Waterloo near L.pool for the winter but are at home now enjoying the lovely summer days. The heather
in front of our house the Lands of Dee between us the Welsh Hills. Father still keeps well and at present we have John's wife
four delightful children with us- John when he can get over in the cogs? . - and father enjoys them all greatly. We hope
dear Maggie Lunam will come to us for a few weeks in the autumn It will cheer her the change. I hope all your dear children
are well that you are still able for your literary work. I hope you will get this little letter - I dont think they often
go astray. Our united loving remembrances to you dear cousin. Affectly yrs Annie Hay.
