Please extend my most heartfelt sympathies to both your mother and brother, who we shall miss dreadfully. I do hope your mothers condition improves, and beg of you to advise me on what care her physician has instructed? My own mother, in her elder years, found a residence on the coast eased her pain considerably.
Rooms will be provided for you, or a suit if this is preferable. Will you be requiring a maid? If so, my wife will be happy to attach one of her girls to you for the duration of your stay. In the evening there is to be a dinner and dance for those remaining guests, and I would be delighted if you were also to attend.
