Page:Letter from T.H. Barker to his wife Mary, 14 December 1903, p05.png

 you want from the Bank. I hope you will have received by then, the 3 cases from Japan, the Dresses etc - Don’t you think it would be well to ask your cousin to stay over X’mas; she will be dull at Woodleigh & would perhaps enjoy being with the boys. I will try to write her a line from St Petersburg. I was not able to write in the Siberian train, owing to the oscillations of the cars, the springs of the bogies are rather weak.

I must write a line now, so goodbye & am, & with much love, I am your affect husband
