Harry does so nicely, runs & plays chords which he hunts out - he can play any how when I give him the note of the scale.  I dont know whether it is only clever interest, as for mathematics, or whether he has talent like Cecil.  How blissful I would be if it might be so.

I do think it is pretty bad for you & Mary to be out after dark - I prefer that you should not be a "bijou".  Your Sister.
