Sunday, November 5, 1899



         The Abbotts have four grown children, although only the two young ladies live at home.  The eldest son lives in Edinborough with his wife, and the youngest, also a young man, is expected to be sent to South Africa with his regiment.  I heard Mrs. Ross, the head housekeeper telling one of the cooks he is to be coming home for leave in the spring, before he leaves.
         I have heard that with a brand new century starting at the end of the year the family will be going to London for the celebration.  I have also heard we will all be given two whole days to spend Hogmanay with our families.  I am so happy!
