Letter From Barbara Nelson 1950

Mangateretere
Hastings
October 14^th 1950

Dear Mrs Nelson,

I am so sorry that I was away when your letter arrived, & have been so slow in answering it. I wrote it & sealed it & put it ready for Dick to post yesterday & suddenly I saw Brian throwing

it on the fire which I had going to burn up some rubbish – he is at the naughty stage of trying to throw everything he can find on the fire & we are very relieved that fires are just about over.

Phoebe & I have just been to [?] for a week which was a wonderful rest for us both & we did enjoy ourselves

so much & it is such a very delightful place to stay.

We are most interested in your history of the Nelson family & shall hope to see it when completed.

Hoping you are both well & that I have not held you up too long with your work.

Yours sincerely,

Barbara Nelson.
