• Notes

  Last letter to his Mother 23/7/1918 talks of the heat spoiling the racing, but also mentions the possibility of famine through an absence of rain. States that 1/3 of Calcutta has been down with influenza. At the end of the letter says is to have appendix out Letter to ACCH 22/7/? I have already written to Uncle Jack the week before I got your letter and enclose a copy.... I think the mortgage holders are behaving very reasonably only asking for an additional 1/2, ie rating the security as high as that of War Loan. I should not have been at all surprised if they had asked for 5 1/2%..... it looks as if they are doing all they can to avoid having the land abandoned to them......Sentiment aside I doubt if the land sold now would cover the mortgage. No-one wants to put money into land while the war lasts. What would be the position if the estate did not fetch the £33 000 borrowed on it? It would be too dreadful to contemplate.
