Dearest Frederick,
I am writing to you in a dear, in a time of eager need, unfortunately our beloved grandmother Ethel is severely ill and she needs one of us with her urgently. As I am the elder brother I believe that I should migrate to Bristol to stay with Gran.

The time has come Frederick for you to face the real world. I know that you are free at these times and now I want you to stand on your own two feet and step out of your dream. I will no longer be able to send you money to pay for your education fees and leisure. You are now at the mature age of 20 and old enough to work and provide for yourself.

I will have to leave instantly so I want you to come and take my job for me. Sir Algernon is fine with it. He stated that it will be a pleasure "having a younger Lane with him". Sir Algernon is of great importance to me and I hope that you will understand that.

Sir Algernon has always treated me very well and with immense respect. He is a very polite and kind gentleman with a ever expanding sense of humour, at times you cannot understand him but the first piece of advice I will give you is to always laugh at sir Algernon’s jokes. He likes it.

He has a rather unpleasant friend, Mr Jack who is often around. The pair are like brothers and often tease and play with each other, it’s a normal habit. Although I must warn you Ernest is a very cunning and suspicious character. I suspect him of leading a double life. The other day I found a cigarette case of his which he left behind and it had another name on it. I must warn you to stay away from him. I don’t understand why Sir Algernon puts up with him.

Now Ernest is not the only visitor who comes to see Sir Algernon, His Aunty and cousin Gwendolen also come regularly. Lady Bracknell , his aunt Likes cucumber sandwiches and it’s become a tradition of mine to make cucumber sandwiches for her whenever she comes therefore from now this is your duty. She likes the bread from a particular baker. I will attatch a copy of the ingrediants, where they are bought and the recipe of the sandwiches. Lady Bracknell is a high status women. She hardly talks to me or even notices that I am present. I hope that is the way it will remain. Please do not attract attention towards yourself. I’d appreciate if she didn’t realise I was absent.

Gwendolen: Sir Algernon’s cousin also comes often with her mother. She is a pretty young women who Ernest has his eye on. They are both such devils always flirting and messing around under Lady Bracknells nose. I would also steer well away from her as women tend to be like their mothers.

Now Frederick I think I have told you enough, you are to take good care of Sir Algernon and to keep his respect I want you to look after his guests with explicit kindness. You must always talk politely, do not argue and only speak when spoken to and try and minimise the conversation always.

I am expecting you to arrive soon as I will be leaving in 2 days.

Lane.
