Nesta Rossiter to Hazel Barrance
Dear Hazel,—I am in a bother over our nice faithful Emily, who wants to be married but is willing to go on looking after the children by day until I can leave Aunt Verena. I don’t care about that kind of arrangement very much; a nurse with a husband living near by is a nurse spoiled, I should guess; but it is better than nothing. As, however, the children might need things in the night, I am hoping you can find me a new nurse at once. You are always so clever. I wrote to our regular Registry Office, of course, but they tell me that there isn’t anything on their books at the moment. Could you possibly go round to some of the other places?—Yours distractedly,
Nesta
