1 105 Brudenell Road Leeds Sept 28th 1916 Dear Mr. Hackney, Thanks for your letter and all it
contained. I was so pleased to receive it and to
hear that you are going on in the right
way, (as regards health I mean - of course!!) I am eagerly anticipating the short time
on Sat. afternoon and hope you will be well
enough to be up and out. I expect (D.V.) to leave Leeds on that day at 1 p.m.
, arriving Sheffield 1.52 p.m. There I will book my
luggage at the cloakroom, and with as much
haste as it is 'proper' to make, board a car &
w ride out to the Hospital. I hope there won't
be much delay through my lack of knowledge
of the place but I'll do the best I can.
On arriving there I will look for you (and
the walking stick!) .. and then ..' Three cheers
for Newlands!' Now I trust this is alright for you - but if
not, well just write me a line & I'll arrange
to suit you. There is a train leaves for Hope about 5.15 or so 2
I think that will be a suitable time After all, I have not been over to Hebden,
for reasons concerning home. But it couldn't be
helped and its still 'a pleasure to come'! But I will reserve all news until 2 days
hence and will finish up this short note. With very kind regards and good wishes for
you 'Gaby' ( and adieu — till Sat.. 2.30 p.m. about?) Yours very sincerely Flossie Briggs 3 envelope 4 envelope
