In a letter dated 23 Match 1904 Bertha writes:
'Dearest Bennie,
I am very glad to hear from Edie that Sir D Powell gives a good account of you and Edie herself thought you (sic) looking ever so much stronger than when she saw you last.
I very much dislike the idea of leaving you alone at 41 this summer.
If the children went to Loughton now for two months they could return to 41 at the end of may and we would all remain there quietly for the rest of the summer. It would not do either the children or me any harm whatsoever to be there in August and September after having had two years of country air. If the coming summer should be like the two last we should not even find it warm. Edie quite approved of this scheme. We need not hurry Haddie back the children would be perfectly happy at Loughton alone with Miss Fischer & the household would get on quite smoothly; then after you had spent a month at Hanhorron or Hachpole you might join them there for may. By that time Haddie would probably be ready to go there to keep you company and you could return to London the beginning of June...'
