My dear Ethel,
I am glad to get your letter, thank you for the same. I am sorry but it will be impossible for you to come here, for the holidays, I am afraid.
I expect my Visiting Agent here, about the 15th, or 20th so shall be busy.
I have promised to go to Columbo, for Xmas, as my sister is going to England very soon.
My niece who was born last month, will be christened during the Xmas holidays.
Your letter is very well written, but why printed?
I will try to come and see you soon, but, I find it difficult to manage a trip to Kandy as a rule.
With love
Affectionate father.
Russell Hancock
