1 52 Lower Mount Street Jan 19th 1916 My dearest Muddie Dr. Taylor looked in this evening
while I was there (he is a funny
man, but most friendly & benign)
& remarked that C. might leave
tomorrow or next day if he
liked, which you can imagine
is great joy. C. has sundry things
he wants to do & must go to
see Dr. Ball, so we decided
it was better to wait till
Friday. If all avocations are
done we should hope to go down
by the 10.10 train, but I think
it is quite possible we may not
get off till the 4.30. I shall know
better tomorrow. C. has carte blanche 2 as to food & may do any reasonable
going about but is not to mountaineer
or ride for a fortnight after which
he may do whatever he likes.
I think he will have no temptations
as to ride at any rate! He looks
very washed out now that he is
up & dressed & cannot yet straighten
himself quite in walking but his
Dr. is really pleased with him.
He is coming out shopping tomorrow.
The dear Aunts have most unjustifiably
bestowed 5/2 for locomotion
so we are going to have a vehicle
per hour. He will now be able to
clear off his liabilities with the help
of your advance. The electric clock
for J. has been the greatest resource
& he wants to get some of the materials
to start it when at home. Today
was perfectly horrible after luncheon,
a tearing gale, which still continues &
horrid of rain. I had hoped to
get through some shopping but did practically none, it was too wet & horrid. C. & I
had a very good tea together & he
then discovered a delightful occupation
i.e. decorating the glass burners of the
electric stove with ribald drawings
which kept him very happy all
the evening. I don't know what
the sister will say to him! But I
think they are all much inclined
to spoil the young man! He has
been walking about a lot & out into
the passages & was to have a bath
this evening. All his dressings have
been taken off the wound which
makes him much more comfortable
but he still complains of being 'tied
up in a bind' from it, but the
Dr. & nurses are not at all sym-
pathetic as to that. No doubt it
will soon wear off as the skin gets
limber again. I hope to do the
commissions tomorrow. I enclose
another letter C. got from J. Please keep 3 it for him. Also will you give
my letter to Hilda and Wm who
will deal with it. Now goodbye Mother dearest, it is
very joyful to look forward to
being together again so soon & the
boy, please God will be really better
& stronger than ever before.
Much love to all Your very loving child E.A. Wynne
