It must be horrible to leave the home you have always lived in...

Ruth Duffin

Young poet documenting social life and travels

Miss McNeill and Nora telephoned to say they were coming to say goodbye […] they are going to Florence for the winter. Parkmount is sold to Anderson of Anderson & McAuley. I am so sorry they are going, they are such really nice people […]

It must be horrible to leave the home you have always lived in, go away knowing you will never be back in the old way again – I wish there was a chance of their ever being back at Parkmount.
