Dear Daddy,
I am afraid I did not have time to continue this yesterday as we had a glorious day and were in the garden until dusk, and then played paper games and lexicon with the Collingwood party until 11 o’clock. Michael and all the other children went to tea at the farm, so we had an afternoon entirely free from worry.
Your letter which arrived yesterday morning quite disturbed me. Please do not worry about the bathing pool. Only people who can swim are able to leave the wooden step ladder, and no one except a very keen expert would want to bathe alone. Mrs Clive herself is an excellent swimmer and life saver. All the grown-ups are swimmers and the children never go near the place alone. Also the weather is not bright enough to make the idea attractive.
I have a chance to catch the post, so good bye and don’t worry.
Your loving daughter
Veronica
