"Thank you very much for your letter just come. I am so sorry your face was sore. Did it make you cry on Sunday night?"
From MISS MAUGHAN.
(The cover of this letter has been preserved, and bears the postmark, "Spilsby, Aug. 22nd, 1888.")
"Tuesday Evening, Aug. 21st, 1888.
"On Sunday we went to see Wroxham Broad. We had an immense amount of walking to do altogether, and I think I got a little cold in my face in the morning, and all night I suffered with it, and my face is swelled still."
In a second letter Miss Maughan writes:—
"Thursday, August 23rd, 11 P.M.
"I am putting poultices on my gums. I have never had such a huge swelling before, and it won't go down. It is so horribly uncomfortable."
"Saturday Afternoon.
"Thanks for letter. Yes, I was crying on Sunday night; only on account of the pain. It was awful, but I only cried quietly, as Edith was asleep...."
