DescriptionMary is now at Hamilton's Hut. She writes about the weather en route, and Esther finding ferns in the woods. She describes the property and its environs. Mr Allenby has promised her the use of a pony and saddle. She will not send Fancy's letter about she, Rosie and Connie going to see the Thanksgiving Day procession [for the recovery of the Prince of Wales, 27 February 1872] as it will not cheer him. She passes on the news that John's mother is better after 'the old associations with March'.
