Papa & I were very near the big bank of
green in front of the fireplace - under dear old
Samuel May's picture, where Dr.
Calthrop
stood waiting. Con & a
Wilkinson (cousin) came up with the white ribbons
- and then Claude and Harry
(both so handsome & pale) Then
Miss Peck and Mrs.
Blackwood
with lovely white gowns - green sashes and breast knots and big
bouquets of asparagus ferns - Then Kath alone -
with maiden- hair fern. Then Fred and
Charlotte, in a beautiful gown of White silk with a
gorgeous lace bertha, a veil a wreath of orange blossoms and a big
bouquet of white roses - Dear Claude
sent his mother one too - and Mrs.
Wilkinson
and dear "Aunt Louisa" who gave
them The pretty "Crane" china (or "poppy") The ceremony was
certainly most beautiful and impressive. No one ever gave responses
more beautifully than Claude - nor looked
them so - and Charlotte were
lovely too. The "blessing" was beautiful - and I was so proud and
happy - for him - that I didn't feel quite so teary as I expected -
nor Mother either - Tho' she shed a few - poor dear.
