"-unclear- Hotel. Waterhead Ambleside I thought you'd like this picture of yachts. They look awfully pretty on the Lake. The hotel looks out on to Windermere. A lovely view. Hope all is going well. We had a glorious drive yesterday to Keswick, Derwentwater etc. Greetings to Tom Love from Holly Many thanks for cake. Delicious”
