 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 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 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.
