Frances reads some letters written in April 1910 by the Machell Cox siblings.

Edmund is yet again a delinquent, he is late writing his letter and thinks he should resign from the Budget.
Avice is in Torquay with Bernard where he is recuperating after removal of his appendix and they tell their landlady all about booby traps.
Enid describes Vera playing in an exciting hockey match at Richmond, Scotland v. England on 16 March 1910, and she also describes the sectarian riots in Liverpool.
Bernard describes what it was like being ill at the Brooklyn nursing home and comments on everyone else's letters.
