A charming and legible antique handwritten letter in blue ink, written from London, England to Mr. Pringle of Hanover, New Hampshire, America. The letter is signed by M. Hewson of Riedworth Street, New Pennington Road, London S.E., and spans three pages on period blue-ruled paper.
The writer apologizes for the delayed reply, noting they were waiting for family photographs to send along. She shares warm domestic news: two young policemen have recently taken lodgings with the family; Father is doing wonderfully with his photography and may turn professional; son Willie is advancing at the Admiralty with a pay rise and studying for higher examinations; son Shaky is still at school but considering joining the Civil Service at Christmas. The writer also mentions that Mother's health has sadly declined and that she herself has been home nearly five months helping out before departing again the following Friday.
The letter closes with Christmas and New Year greetings, a reflection on how quickly time flies compared to London, and warm relief that Mr. Pringle arrived safely in America and was reunited with dear friends.
