BR tells Meynell that after picking up John and Kate, Dora took them to a place called Hook's Way, about three quarters of a mile from his house, and she had been staying there for part of the time John and Kate were with BR. "A week ago, when my wife and John and Kate were out, they saw her in a car at the foot of our drive. The children guessed where she was going, and Kate was visibly unsettled throughout the rest of her time with me." BR mentions that the children are unsettled by this behaviour, knowing that Dora is nearby when they are with him, and not being able to see BR, even though he is so close, when they are with Dora.

"I think the trustees should point out to her that this behaviour is unseemly, and calculated to distress the children." There is also a handwritten note stating that this letter was sent to Lloyd as well.
