He begins with news of the journey of 'Dear Alice' to Rev. Robert Laffan's school in Stratford-on-Avon and then of the departure of 'Elizabeth' from Paddington 'I thought you would like to know that she is safely looked after by her pa.' 'Alick will no doubt distinguish himself in the sports knowing that his sisters Eye will be upon him he will feel equal to the Cow that jumped over the moon'. In Alice's absence he will have 'a Blanberry sort of time . The House is getting into a <pretty> state of upsidedownishness and there is a <> noise on the stair case now the carpets are up early in the morning of tin buckets and heavy feet up & down stairs.' When woken by this he tries to 'compose my ideas as to the best pattern for the paper or carpet and how to re arrange the Pictures and what lumber can be got rid of in that dreadful school-room'. He reports on a dinner 'at the Ship the golf Club dinner for Johnson invited me and I met Mr Wolffrom there of course every body asked after you and I told every body you had just had the measels'.

At the foot of the first page are caricatures of Elsie and her brother Alick with the note: 'Tell Alick when he is well enough to draw that he must try and take your likeness as you appeared in the Mumps'. He explains that the family miss her and her brother: 'I am not allowed to come to you for fear of getting my face enlarged I have had so much to do with enlarging that it is feared I might not be able to get my head out of the door'. He makes a number of suggestions of how the children may occupy themselves adding: 'Dorothy Riddle has now got the mumps but not from you.'
