It is October 1907 - Frances reads letters from Bernard, Cuthbert, Arthur and Vera.Avice has joined a mixed hockey team, "and one man said DAMN, just like that". Avice is shocked that a man would use such words with a lady present.Goldbeater's skin was the peculiar fabric used to construct airships - Bernard describes an airship landing at Crystal Palace in South London, in great detail.Cuthbert has many many teeth pulled out by the dentist; Arthur goes to Rame Head on an expedition, nearly dies and his valuable camera equipment is ruined by the waves;Vera and Bernard are visiting Garfield House School in Plymouth, they sit on the floor (shock! horror!) to play with Christopher’s trainset; and the siblings have started playing Diabolo, which was all the rage in 1907.Why not check out - @CoxLetters - on Twitter, for photos and Avice's sketches.
