Lambton Castle, Fence Houses. 8 Nov 1915 Dear Lady Londonderry Thank you
immensely for sending me
in to Durham, it was truly
kind of you & has saved
me a lot of discomfort. I am very glad you were
not at the meeting,
two ghastly freaks turned
up from London, both in
2
uniform with short hair
they made me feel quite
sick. I am enjoying Joan & Peter. I will bring it back one
day next week as soon as
I can find time. Thank you again so much Yours affec.. Anne Lambton

from London. This letter is part of a series of correspondence belonging to Lady Londonderry,
