Will have to dispense with Ernest, Ethel and Gordon. Mrs. Slacter and Mr. Stead have now moved into Kimbrook, "living in sin". Anxious to hear whether the shooting syndicate is working out. The cattle that Seabrook sent have arrived in Kenya but the best two were knocked out by diseases. Surprised the Prince has got the nerve to be driving about Kimbolton with Mrs. Doyne-Ditmas.
