Autograph Letter Signed to 'My dear Mrs Crook'
saying she is "ashamed never to have written before to thank you & the Brigadier for the delightful dinner you gave Lady Helena & myself on your birthday ... It was such a pleasant interlude in the otherwise official meals we attended. The fact is I had never a moment free from some engagement or other, when free could just fall on my bed for for a few moments ... I did not write to anybody. It is lovely & peaceful to be back here & so much cooler. If ever you are this way do look us up. Come for a nice bathe & then lunch & a siesta ... I know it s a long drive so I never ask people, but sometimes people are motoring to Montego & look in here on the way ...", 2 sides 4to., Mount Corbett, Discovery Bay, Jamaica headed paper, 19th February
