Dear Aunt

               We will send tomorrow by train a peice of American beef so as you may try the flavour and quality of it and I hope you will like and enjoy the eating of it.

               We send you this peice as a present but if you should like to have any more I am afraid you will have to pay for it this peice being only on trial – I will come to see you some time this month I have been quite upset since I came home from London and I have hardly been out of the house excepting one day I went up to Abergele to see Mother as I was afraid she would have been very low after the shock of poor Uncle’s death being so sudden – but thank goodness she is bearing up wonderfully and I hope you are trying to bear up as it must have been a great greif to you Robert sends his very kind love to you all in which I join with all my heart

                                             Your affectionate neice

                                                            Elinor Humphreys
