Frances reads letters from Bernard, Cuthbert, Arthur and Vera from December 1907.Bernard writes in his letter: “The great question of nightshirt versus pyjamas, which is now nightly before me.”Bernard also writes about Rev Dr Cox shouting at carol singers and chasing them out of the garden. Really. A Church of England vicar who detested carol singers.Cuthbert has had 17 teeth pulled out in total, (at just 27 years old) and he is waiting for his permanent dentures to be ready.Bernard and Cuthbert give their opinions on the Druce-Portland case, which was enthralling everyone.Arthur has students in quarantine due to scarlet fever, and he writes about working in his darkroom, on photographs, wearing an old nightshirt. As you do.Vera has to finish her letter abruptly due to the dreadful news that something is missing from the Christmas Budget, and Bernard ( the Editor) needs her help to look for it.Why not check out - @CoxLetters - on Twitter, for Machell Cox related content.
