CP to Joan Procter (from Switzerland) 1 June 1913
[Elizabeth Procter] to [CP] 6 June 1913. The first and last pages are missing but the letter describes the funeral of EP's brother-in-law, Hugh Procter.
An envelope addressed to 'Mr and Mrs Procter' containing a dried leaf (probably sent by their daughters; postmark illegible)
CP to Joseph Procter (from the New Forest) 26 September 1916 with accounts. CP was between gardening college and her first job and was looking after her sister Joan, who was recovering from a gastric ulcer.
A letter from CP and one from Joan Procter to their parents Joseph and Elizabeth Procter (from Hawkridge Farm, Somerset) 11 April 1920
Joan Procter to Joseph and Elizabeth Procter (from Florence) 4 September 1921. CP is with her and the letter concerns health issues.
