 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 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 Lambton Castle, Fence Houses, County Durham, England.
