Frances reads five letters, written by Bernard, Cuthbert, Arthur, Wilfred and Vera in February and March 1910.

There is a great deal of polite arguing about whether the siblings should discuss (argue about) politics in the Budget.
Bernard has appendicitis and is at the Brooklyn Nursing Home.
Avice and Cecil are engaged.
Cuthbert has been to a lecture and is fascinated with Shackleton and Scott, the Antarctic explorers.
Arthur describes a Boy Scout visit by Robert Baden Powell.
Wilfred is home from Canada unexpectedly, and no one recognises him.
Vera has also been in the Nursing Home but recovers enough to play international hockey at Richmond.
