I am spending the weekend at Innes House”, near Elgin, with Captain Iain Tennant, chairman of the governors, “with Mummy before flying down... It will be wonderful to get home & see Mabel”, (Mabel Anderson, nanny to all four children) “and the two small horrors. Andrew” (born 1960) “appears to going through a very difficult phase... & practicaly reduces me to tears as well!”, he talks of the holidays, “polo... sailing at Cowes... Balmoral & I don’t have to leave until the 7th October when Cambridge goes back... poor Anne will have to go back in September & it will be sad... I do hope I see you before... Cambridge... I expect it will be easier for me to get to London more often than when I was up here. I must... finish my last minute packing... I’ve still got my little brown case I used to put my toys and odds and ends in... very useful”, with a newspaper obituary of Miss Lightbody, 4 sides 4to., Gordonstoun, Elgin, Moray, 22nd July
