weekend & amongst other things we saw a revival of "Catch of the Season" quite old of course but we enjoyed it. Well done & quite jolly & bright, lots of pretty girls.
We went to the Row & saw some very funny sights on Sunday. Also went to a big tea place where they played some good music divinely. We stayed at Regents Palace Hotel which reminded me somewhat of the Australia but much bigger & very hot. Wow-wow.
I went down to Tunbridge Wells & had a great time. Mrs. Johnson looks ever so much better I think, she looks sweet. I met Miss Annie who is a dear. We had a great yarn & I simply hated having to leave. Miss Annie's hair is awfully pretty, it is quaint to think she has grown white so early.
All Jimmy has grown a lot & is still a great lad & so amusing, Oliver is talking hard now, he calls me "soger". Miss Annie wanted to know all about Grahame & fortunately I had taken over a lot of snaps of him & the garden.
Miss Partridge is still there & just as nice as ever.
