Feb 22.14

Pettigrew I am writing this line to say that I shall have to send you both Polly & Freia in a day or two - it may be tomorrow or next day but I will telegraph in the morning. Will you see that they go out for a little in

the morning & for a walk in the afternoon. Either in the enclosure or in the park & will you or Mrs Pettigrew keep them as much as possible with you as poor little Polly is getting old now & will feel being away from me as she is used to being with me always, but it is quite impossible

for me to keep her here with all the other dogs. Will you let me know the moment they are alright again. I will send a basket for Polly as she will be happier sleeping in that.

I hope you are all well. Your brother told me you had settled to have the Scout Demonstration in April. I shall not be back from abroad till quite the end of that month.

Yours faithfully

A[lberta] Plymouth

I hope it will not be inconvenient for you to have Freia & Polly. Will you give them a little milk & warm water at tea time as they are used to that.
