June the Tenth. / In the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and ninety two / My little darling Angela / This is your Bapapa painting a picture / and Uncle Phil painting a picture - and you are sitting / by the side of Bapapa, helping him to paint his picture / and telling him what to do. / You have told him to paint a wind- / mill and two ducks - he is trying to do all you / tell him. / Uncle Phil is painting the face of a / pretty lady - we are all very happy / [drawing of Angela with EB-J and Phil painting] / [drawing of Philip Burne-Jones] / But when Uncle Phil has finished his picture he will / go out a walk to see his friends, who will be / glad he is quite well, and he will ask if / they are quite well, and be very glad to / hear them say that they are perfectly well, then / he will say goodbye to them and come home. / But I should like to take my darling Angela / a walk - and perhaps as we walked through / Uxbridge we might see a happy shop where / kind people sell toys, and I should like / to buy two toys - one for Angela and one / for her brother, who likes toys very much / especially bright ones. / [drawing of EB-J and Angela in a toy shop] / [drawing of baby by a crib] / This is your little brother - he wants to see you / he has got out of his cradle to look for / you - but when his mama and papa told / him you were busy gathering flowers in a / garden he was pleased and went back / again into his little bed to sleep. / he is very good, and knows that when / you come back you will take great / care of him, and this pleases him to / lie and think of. / [drawing of Angela holding her brother] / and when you go to MILKFORD you can / take him to see ducks in a pond, / and teach him to say QUACK QUACK / which will give him great pleasure / and make a a nice Summer for him. / and I like to think of it. / and I send you seven kisses by your kind / papa who will give you this letter / [drawing of a string of seven beads] / and I hope Auntie ? is quite well / and Uncle John and Nanna and / the horses and dogs and cats and / pigs - I hope they are all quite / well and I am / Your loving Bapapa. / also mamama send you seven kisses / [drawing of tulips]
