| Description | E H Shepard writes that he liked hearing all about Florence's Christmas shopping, and Baba must have been a treat, counting his money. Shepard says that he has had a letter from Ethel written during an air raid, also letters from Aunt Ellen and Aunt Fanny. He says that it will be splendid if Baba can buy his bike, and asks Florence to make sure that its a good one.
Shepard tells Florence not to worry much about the Austrians pushing them and the French as its rather the reverse and 'We've been giving them no end of a lively time - quite a difference kind of war to what they've been used to' |
