Narrative

Letter to Auntie Clara from Del.
Address = Redcliffe (ie Bristol)
Clara (b1838) is second child of John Seager Winter (1810-1879), Paul Delappe (1889-1918) is son of fourth child (William Arthur 1851-1931), so assume letter is from Paul Delappe (shortened to Del).
Letter says Dada is going to "make me and Billie a ship each": Billie assume refers to Del's younger brother William Arthur (b 1890).
Also says there is a fuss about "Claverham house drainage".
Difficult to date the letter - possibly around 1905
