Someone once referred to the old Aunts as snakes in the grass when talking to Paul Dack Rector of Quedgaley. He could not quite see this in two mild old ladies passing by.
Could not work the peepshow. We would watch this a box with scenes that would change from day to night by opening a flap at the top of the box. I remember a huge lion's head above an arch.

- Education: Rugby School
- Occupation: Manager Jute Business
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.
