Frank to Mrs. Herbert.

My dear Grandmother I am awfully sorry I asked you to ask Jones. I suppose I musn't come now for Christmas. I only wanted him to go out skating and see Kitto. I should like to come I hope Mamma will come. I suppose Papa and Arthur wont for fear of the cold. I suppose you are awfully angry. Will you forgive me How is Mabel. I don't want Jones to know I asked for him
