[The remainder of the page crossed through.] Also DIARY 15/1/17. Letter Mother JOE Day Mch. 25 & April 1st & also H.L.A. The latter asks me to bring my wife to Eli Elivah. I shall be glad to do so some day. Do you notice how badly Dolly speaks even after being at one of the best schools in England. Also Papers thank you. The old Home must be kept as well as ever.
