Two other ladies are coming in their place, and much of my own work will be undertaken by a Mrs.Claridge, whom you will shortly see.
It is rather sad this change in what has been such a happy association of busy people, nobody treading on any one else's toes; but there it is! "The old order changeth, giving place to the new ...

lest one good custom should corrupt the world"-- you will read in the Tennyson I gave you last Christmas.

Let's hope it won't be when I return: "Change and Decay in all around I see" ...

as the rather dismal hymn has it.
Sometimes change is a good thing.

You serve a noble mistress in Miss Fraser and I am sure you realize the importance of her work.
