"Holywath ! Coniston. Lancs 27/12/34 thank you so much for the nice motto - calender and your good wishes for Christmas. I hope you all spent a very Happy time at Arncliffe. Miss Robinson & I have had a very nice time here. We are quite close to the fells, where we can get splendid walks - but the weather is not very kind to us at present. Best wishes for 1935 from E R Hext ( ? ) ”
