We are looking at this thick fog and thinking very much of your dear Emily & her long cold journey - when does she start? not to travel all night we hope - Of course Lady Blanche sends a proper escort -however, God will bless & watch over her on this errand of love & bring her back safely we hope & pray to enjoy dear old Christmas with you all at her own fireside- Take care of your self & do not float about in the fog to get cold - Much love from us both [written vertically up the page] Your affectionate
M Mackenzie.
