1. Catherine Harriet Torlesse: Letter to Edward H T Liveing, 5 Nov 1921, Sumner [?].
Sumner [?]
Nov 5th.
Dear Edward,
Thank you very much indeed for sending me the family tree. We are most interested in it. I think it was wonderful of you to be able to collect all that information from different people and books what awoke it must have been.
I am very grateful to Aunt F (Fenn?) for thinking of me. Richard is very interested in it we have not the Hamilton one but Torly [?] the eldest brother has just come over from Australia and I think he has it so we hope to find out from him other particulars. Frances hopes to go home to stay with Pixie and looks forward to meeting all the English cousins. She is a very friendly person and so will get on with them I am sure.
With many thanks
Believe me
Your affectionate cousin
Kate Hamilton.
