TitleLetter from [Hyacinth Symonds Jardine Hooker] Littleridge, Pendock, Twekesbury, to Olive Rucker
CreatorHooker; Hyacinth Jardine (1842 - 1921)
Date25 March 1920
DescriptionIs sorry she has nothing satisfactory to tell Olive about the missing diaries. Has heard from Mr Hurley that he has searched for them with no success, and that he does not remember ever receiving them. Mentions Grace [Hooker, Reginald Hooker's sister] and her visit, which she wishes had been longer. Heard Major and Mrs Hughes have left Upton for Malvern and that she wishes to call on them if they remain there when Joe [likely Joseph Hooker, her son] is there to drive her. Asks Olive to send her their address if a meeting is feasible. Says D and M [possibly her son Richard Hooker and his wife Marjorie] are looking forward to seeing Olive next week from Ealing. Mentions Olive's son Arthur's eighth birthday on the 31st and how hard to believe he is so grown up. Encloses a contribution to his account and five shillings to be spent on something that will give Arthur immediate pleasure and remind him of 'Sunnydale Grannie'. Mentions John, who turned five years old, and hopes the cousins will meet this year. Praises the weather. Says the motorcar driver has been very helpful and enjoyable. Signed Madre.
