Saturday 7 August 1886

Mr Arthur Raymond Heath of Farmington Lodge, Northleach, Gloucestershire, is the eldest son of Vice-Admiral Sir Leopold Heath K.C.B., of Anstie Grange, Holmwood, Surrey. He was born in the year 1854, and educated at Marlborough and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took the degree of LL.B. in 1876. In 1878 he was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple. Mr Heath, who is a J.P., for Oxfordshire, and a member of the Oxford and Cambridge Club, married in 1881 Flora, youngest daughter of the late Mr E. Baxter of Kinculdrum, Forfarshire, N.B.

Frederick C. Heath (Caldwell) was based in the Egypt region from 1882 to 1886 and then again from 1891 to 1894. It is difficult to know if there is any particular significance to the following note, as it is not known in which year it is written. From the signature it would appear that the author was H.H. Kitchener and this in itself may be the reason why it was kept.

Dear Heath,

Should you be unable to go I will take down your things in the 2nd Horse for you.

Yours sincerely

Letter to Georgina from Louisa. Georgina travelling on the continent with a Mrs Harper and others.

3^{rd May 1886}

Darling Georgy,

You can not think how distressed we have been at your not receiving our letters when you expected them but we have always written the very day we heard from you when we were to since then and have never lost one post. But you see from the wretched [chemys? Change?] in ours here we always lose 2 posts above Chenolas friends.

Is not this grand news about our John. I will quote his very words from his letter as you will like to see them.

My dear Aunt Missings,

I should have written before but I had been so awfully busy that I have not had a moment to spare. The immediate result of this busy-ness is, that I have got prizes on five subjects, the ultimate result will probably be softening of the brain.

I shall be with you on Tuesday, by the train which leaves town at noon

One is [agog, agoug, agony?] to know upon what subject and what his prizes are, dear fellow. He wanted to know about the Royds answer to the invitation which I sent him. It is an uncertain one as they have asked friends to the [Badger?] hounds and want John to join them at it. But anyway, they mean to try to come and evidently wish to do so.

So we have our feet in the air at present waiting till we have the Brereton answer. Posy will have told you of poor Martha Prices death. I am so sorry for her poor husband and little baby. I had a letter from him a few days ago, telling me of the birth of his little son and that though it was now about 10 days old Martha had been very ill and in danger the night before..

Here I was interrupted by Captain Edward Heathcote who has been here for about two hours as [more?] agreeable to one as he always is. P came in and we were all three discussing these school matters. Of course he (has?) quite a different version and between the two scales it is difficult to make out the exact truth, but John [exulted?] poor Scotchies had been puzzed [kaibor?] and not clear in his facts as Mr [Reary?] and I found him in the Trustee business apropos to selling the Church land and [toncting?] about trifles which we know as a weakness at the Rectory.

But why [difficult to read] [crack that?] leg man as a [tall hede shed?] a district of the clerics? It is very sad, I mean to set a letter upon the [stacks?] as soon as this is dispatched and then there will be a chance of something fresh to tell you which P and I writing the same day is difficult.

The Household seems all to have settled down quietly again. I am grateful to say. I like our old [Street?]Johnston [prelauled?] as much as ever and I think the latter will prove at really good servant in every way. She is very content about her little Mary who looks as well and seems as happy as possible at the Myatts.

Edens the new maid. I am not enamored of at present. She is so terribly limp and still. However, she seems orderly and Posy who is having a gold made says that she seems quite to know what she is about. So we shall see. I am again afraid that she is very delicate.

Beeston begged me to tell you that all is going on well at the farm and that he has now 5 calves counting the one born before you went and they and their mothers are all well and hearty. We have had some charming sun and showers, best farming weather possible and one fancies that one can see the grass grow.

Mr [Bates?] wrote yesterday to say that Baker (of the Oak) was every way out his threat of ceasing [page 3] we promised poor Davies the Schoolmaster, we would do if possible.

I am so sorry that you are losing some of your companions at the [Islands, Felinks?] that you liked and very glad that Mr H is going to have such an amusing out. But again very sorry for poor Miss Gore Booth. How some people do suffer!!

But, in ones old age and consequent knowledge of life one can gratefully feel sure, that our Father does number our hairs, and he and the blessed Saviour, help those to bear to whom he knows it is for their good to [scheme?].There heavy visitations.

Oh! It seems too good to be true, that we are to have you back so soon darling G.

Ever your truly loving L.

For Mrs Harper, private.

Thank you much, dear Mrs Harper for your account of Miss G. Don’t let her read till Professor says she may. I hope you are well.

With much esteem E Louisa M.C.

Dont you think Gladstone has behaved in the most mean way about Lord Beaconsfield. One cannot help

That proves that Mr Bate ought to have looked into things with such a man more closely before.

[more writing sideways difficult to read.]

Thinking of the donkey and the dear Lion, though [Gloucester?] can not even take the shelter that he is a donkey!

Goodbye our darling G. Please thank [Mable?] always write and will love to BIR.

I am v L.all the annoyance and trouble in his power endeavouring to sell of the Manor of the Hay (He agreed to sell to Thornby at the sale) also the fixtures and by JW Kings advice Mr Bete has distained. All this is very tiresome but [3 words illegible]

Talke

The eleventh annual May Festival and Well-Dressing was commenced on Monday, under very favourable conditions, and was continued on Tuesday. The weather was fine and the attendance large. The Festival has now become a well-established institution, and is looked upon by the residents as the chief event of the year. The procession formed at the Butt Lane National Schools, and as it slowly passed through the streets on the way to the field presented a very effective appearance. - - - -- 

On arriving at the field, the ceremony of coronation took place, in the presence of a numerous company, amongst whom were the Rev. M.W. McHutchin (vicar) and Mrs McHutchin, Rev. J. Badnall (vicar of Endon), Rev. S.W. Hutchinson, the Misses Marsh-Caldwell (of Linley Wood), &c. The crowning was performed by Mr John Boulton, and the sceptre was presented by Mr W.Cotterill. Mr F.J. Cliffe being the master of ceremonies. The may-pole dance by fifty-six dancers, wearing white dresses and bearing wreaths in their  hands, were very prettily executed, under the direction of the vicar of Endon.  - - -
